In 32 minutes I was able to exit my lower bowl seats, head to my bus meeting spot that was 1/4 mile from the stadium, and I'm back in my hotel room.

I wouldn't even have made it to my parking spot in Tiger Stadium.

But at least TS doesn't charge $42 for a double Makers and 7.

If you were in the Lower Bowl and can afford a $42 drinking (Please tell it was the size of a Big Gulp)...why are you getting on a bus and NOT a limo?

Just kidding...for what it is worth...I was at the Thanksgiving Day game in 1993 when Leon Lett cost the Cowboys the game against Miami by making a similar bone head special teams play.

And I am in D/FW for the night!

Yeah, I know it sounds like a brag or flex, but it's not. I about shite myself when she said $60 for a double and a Miller Lite for the wife. That was our only drinks for the night.

ATT is 1/2 a mile off 30/360. I would hope it wouldn’t take more than five minutes to get onto 3/4 lane interstates. LSU is a vastly different infrastructure.

Does Jerry’s World have a big river next to it preventing traffic flow?

A lot of people forget the river essentially restricts 2 potential driving directions. Now with that said you'd think some type of planning would've been done to get a large number of people out a little quicker.

I didn't take as a brag...The other posters made a good point about a big river.

I just hope you had a good time...with the roof ooen. That is awesome.

Thanks for the subtle “ I leave at halftime at LSU games” brag

Comparing AT&T Stadium to Tiger Stadium is like apples to oranges.

It costs $80 to park a car at AT&T Stadium. More distant lots are at least $60.

Concessions prices are obscene -- $20 pizza and stuff.

Tailgating is not a popular thing because the stadium restricts tailgating to the scant few grassy areas along the perimeters of the asphalt parking lots. It's nothing like the tailgating scene at Tiger Stadium.

I've seen some creative "coming out" posts, but this one takes the cake!

Jerry's World was built to fit traffic. Tiger Stadium was built to fit football at LSU.

Maybe tear it down and accommodate traffic.

I’ll throw in the fact that it’s not literally in the middle of a college campus. It’s almost as if the entire area around AT&T Stadium was made for having multiple stadiums and facilitating large amounts of traffic and Tiger Stadium wasn’t…

Location of the two stadiums is the main thing, but I'll throw in the fact that Jerry World holds 80,000 for sporting events vs Tiger Stadium which holds 100,000. Throw in easily another 25-50k who are on campus but don't go to the game and the two situations could not be more different.

Jerry world is not cheap. I love the way the game ended.

Always great when people complain without taking into consideration actual issues that prevent traffic at LSU from behaving in that manner.

Good comparison.

LSU could build a new stadium away from campus with access to the interstate on all four sides. Just have to wait unit the loop is built.

Jerry’s world is also built in flat dry Texas land with one of the largest metropolitan super highway systems in the country surrounding it
