Question about Baton Rouge for the game

I hear it has changed tons since Katrina.

katrina changed New Orleans, slim.

ETA: there will be over 100,000 people on campus. there is no way to avoid traffic.

Baton Rouge is essentially the same, maybe more people since Katrina...

traffic is a lock though, no avoiding it.

You can't avoid the traffic. Football plus Friday traffic in BR. After the game plan on staying put for a while. If possible get to campus early and if you don't mind a walk you are probably best off if you park further away than really close in.

I will be coming to the game tomorrow morning, and havent been to Baton Rouge in a while. I hear it has changed tons since Katrina. Any advice you guys can give me of places to avoid traffic wise and safety wise. Thanks for any help you can provide me.

Hoping for a clean, hard fought, injury free game tomorrow.

I'd wear a helmet when in the stadium(hardhat would do it)..you are going to get batteries, food and probably piss bags thrown your way..LSU fans are mean..Also hold your head down and do not fight back when LSU fans tigerbait you..you can fight them but you will get hurt because there are nothing but tiger fans for as far as the eye can see, most of them drunk..

Do not display large MSU lettering on your car unless you want it shaken while you are driving or you want the car badly damaged

















































j/k..quit being a pussy and just have fun at the game..i love how out of the area folks are such vaginas about going to LSU games..this isn't a fricking tea party..just have fun, smile and don't start shite and things will go beautifully

Get into town before 1 PM. Maybe take Dalrymple, stay to the right on the exit and head into campus, take a right on East State street and find some parking near the corner of Highland and E. State Street.Check out Chimes, reginellis' , walk past the parage grounds, the indian mounds, down the hill to Tiger stadium. Should be some good tailgates and stuff going on.

Traffic in Baton Rouge gets worse and worse every year. The price of progress I guess.

If you hate traffic, get up early and go tailgate. If you're nice to LSU fans and smile when they yell "Tiger Bait!" at you, they may even offer you some jambalaya and a beer. Bring a TV or make friends with at other tailgates. It is said that half the people in the parking lot don't even have tickets, they are just there to tailgate. If you don't tailgate for at least a couple hours, you really are missing out on the full experience.

As for driving to Tiger Stadium, take the scenic route. Take I-12 and exit Sherwood. Go south on Sherwood to Coursey. Head over to Spanky's and get yourself a daiquiri. Head back down Sherwood, cross over Airline and down Siegen all the way to Highland. Drive up Highland past under the stately oaks all the way to LSU. If you need another daiquiri, stop at Daiquiri Cafe on Highland at Lee.

Enjoy the game. And if you drink enough, you may think your Bulldawgs won even if they lose. Either way, my advice to you is to drink heavily. When in Rome...
