LSU brought consultants in to fix the traffic issues degrading the LSU Game Day Experience. Unlike the past, LSU got out of it's own way and actually listened to the consultants.

The no parking along nicholson is to facilitate contra flow after the game. Can't have vehicles facing into oncoming traffic slowing the flow down when they need to turn around.

It's a shame about the tailgating there, but c'est la vie. I'll be happy not to wait in line for hours to get home after the game.

Nicholson is mostly younger crowds, with obnoxious loud music, and I am frankly happy these scallywags lost their spot.

You might not be so happy if they move right next to you.

If you're driving on Nicholson that close to the stadium after the game, you will still be waiting in line for a while.

This is stupidity, and I say that as a transportation engineer.

And exactly how is that clusterfrick going to be fixed when nicholson goes from 4 lane one way to 2 lane right past walkons?

The traffic really isn't bad unless you are stuck on river road.

My group has been tailgating there for about 6-8 years 6 years now. We are in our 30's. Now i will agree there are some trash that tailgate there, but there are also some decent tailgate groups there as well. And you aren't getting rid of the trash, you are simply relocating them to another spot, around more decent tailgaters. It really doesn't solve anything.

And those lots are where a lot of visitors come by. We constantly run into people we know who don't normally tailgate because our spot is a bit wide open, and pretty chill.

Our group has decided to already start looking to buy parking passes. Just sucks we have to do this now. Not to mention that the pay for parking spots are terrible, gameday atmosphere wise.
