Advice on parking in New Orleans for the game Monday

Are you staying in New Orleans, or going back to BR after the game?

Monday is still a work day but there are plenty of parking and even businesses close to Superdome rent out their lots for parking.
I parked at a flower shop for a Saints game for $20 a couple of blocks away.

I use a lot off Claiborne for Saints games. I can get to and from the Dome from Covington in under an hour each way.

It used to be a secret and I could show up 15 minutes before kickoff and still be at my seats for the start of the game. Back then it only cost $10. Price has gradually increased to $20 and then $30.

Now (for Saints games), the lot fills up an hour before kickoff, and I’m guessing it’ll be full well before that on Monday, and probably cost more than $30 to park as well.

One piece of advice: Definitely pay for parking. Any free parking is taking a chance during an event like this when so many police will be dedicated to crowd control and won’t be able to deal with petty car break-ins.

At least with paid parking you get some measure of security.

The lot is 2-3 blocks past Poydras heading eastbound on Claiborne, on the right just after you come down off the elevated ramp/overpass.

I would park in metry at lakeside and uber in

What time you think you would need to be in an Uber heading towards downtown before stuff gets chaotic?

There are free spots where Galvez hits I-10 where I always park for Saints games.

There's a garage bounded by Loyola, Lafayette, and Rampart. 2 block walk from the Dome and it's secure. I think special event parking there will be 30 or so. I think that would be hard to beat.

Park in Kenner or Metairie an Uber to New Orleans otherwise good luck

I used to go park uptown somewhere a block or 2 off St Charles and take the Streetcar (dark ages before Uber ) in fact I’m pretty sure that’s what I did for the 2003 BSCCG

If you park in the Harrah's parking garage, and then go inside and sign up for their free VIP card, then play anything for 30 minutes you park for free. That's always my go to option, even if I just sit at a penny machine for 30 minutes. You can park for a few bucks, or maybe win a few bucks to park. The drawback here is that idk how traffic would be trying to leave after the game from right there. If you were staying, it is easily one of the cheapest, safest, best options for parking.

This

Play the penny slots and bet 1 penny every 45 seconds. Press the drink button and get free drinks while you do your 30 minutes. (Make sure you have your card in the machine while you play.) After you've played 30 minutes, you can put your card into one of the special machines to get parking validation. There's one as you exit the elevator to the parking garage.

If you don't want to deal with the traffic, my best second option is to park at Carrollton and St. Charles, go to Cooter Browns, get a few beers, maybe a Muffeletta (best in the city here, IMO), then hop on the streetcar and ride downtown. Unfortunately the streetcar line is being worked on so you'd either have to hike the 5 or so blocks to Broadway or take a shuttle bus that runs while track is being worked on to Broadway and hop on the streetcar there. I did this when I went to the Sugar Bowl last week. It's a nice little ride. Costs $1.25 each way or you can buy an all day pass for $3.00.
