CBK has lost control of our roads and for too long, the fans have been taken for granite. Without the fans/alumni buying tickets, opening their checkbooks, or streaming or watching TV, this program is nothing. The same can be said for every program in the country.

We as fans deserve a more tolerable commute home after home games. TomTom has ranked Baton Rouge as one of the most congested cities in the country and the #1 ranked most congested college town in the SEC.

In 2022 when Southern and LSU both had a home game, the traffic was exacerbated so bad that someone I know actually had a mental health crisis.

If we are paying CBK $10 million a year and he can’t put together a competent coaching staff or a complete football team, the least he could do is improve our gameday experience by reducing the traffic. One of the worst parts about this problem is that there are so many drunk drivers on the road after home games. These people go to work and pay taxes just like me and you, and the drunk drivers deserve to get home in a reasonable manner without having to stress anymore than they already are

Wasn’t any worse than a normal home game

I'll say this. The Indiana Dept. of Transportation wasn't sorry to see him leave. Marcus Freeman added a lane in and out of the stadium, traffic there is much improved.

I didn’t want to come out and say this because I haven’t personally experienced it, but everyone I know who’s from Indiana has said the same exact thing!

Traffic down Burbank was way worse. going down to one lane at gardere is a terrible plan

Is her hair still blue or has she changed it to green, purple, or pink by now?

The fans need to keep their asses in their seats and support the Team for the whole game instead of leaving at halftime because they are afraid to get tucked in traffic! Don’t go to the games if you are worried about traffic

Do some of y'all actually think Kelly has control over contraflow?

River road was closed for a bit right when people were leaving due to a fire at the end of the game. They announced it in the post game report.

Better than being taken for marble or quartz, I guess…

They changed some of the parking pass routes. I've gone the same way for decades and now I can't use that route. No clear warning about it either.

reducing the traffic
The only way traffic will ever be reduced is if people are able to teleport from the stadium to their homes.

Judging by the opinions spewed by LSU fans on the Rant, many of them may actually have a big chunk of granite in their heads. (Pumptard Cheerleader MA's, Complain-A-Whiners, Traffic CAW's, Weather CAW's, Aramark Concession Food Glutton CAW's and Psychotic "Premature Annunciator's" on the Scoreboard are all amongst the Granite Heads)

Yes I’ve personally sat in a few meetings with Kelly, DOTD, and other consultants about contraflow and Gameday traffic

Not near as bad as what we experienced in Clemson last week. Dabo needs to address that cluster ASAP.

It wasn't that bad for us, maybe because we stayed 30 minutes after the game.
