re: Baseball parking passes in the Bull Pen lot will be scanned starting tonight

Here is the email I received yesterday from the LSU Ticket Office:

Yep, got mine as well.

It is obvious that no one making traffic/parking decisions actually goes to the games. If they did then they see what a clusterfrick it is.

This is just a test run that we are hoping if it works we will be able to provide fans more options with their parking passes.

If they're looking for ways to improve the fan experience then I've got a few suggestions for them:

- build a pedestrian bridge across Nicholson and ticket people for jaywalking if they don't use it
- construct a dedicated right-turn lane from Nicholson onto Gourrier
- add an entrance/exit for the bullpen lot off of Nicholson
- expand Gourrier by two lanes; use the two right lanes if you're parking at the stadium, use the left two if you're parking at the golf course or in the heyfield lot
- actually implement contraflow after the game (using both lanes through the traffic light, not just up to it like they do most of the time... which is really fricking stupid)
- force people exiting lots to drive away from the stadium (bullpen, champions, & golf lots drive east towards Nicholson; home run, HoF, & heyfield drive west towards River Rd.)
- run those ticket scalpers off, they are only causing more traffic problems where they are

Three of those wouldn't cost them anything to implement.
