Any tips on parking for the LSU/Arkansas game? I've heard it can get pretty crazy on gameday, and as I mentioned, I've never experienced it. Seeing parking prices of $100 for on campus parking. My wife and I don't mind walking a mile or so to and from the stadium.

The churches along Dalrymple open their lots for $20. You’ll have a walk ahead, but it’s the easiest parking on/near campus IMO. Easier to get out of the area afterward.

ETA: pretty sure they’re all cash only, so plan accordingly.

Then park for free near the baseball stadium and you’ll be golden. That’s where I park and the exercise is needed anyway. You definitely will not be walking alone as there will be tons of other fans along side you.

Northgate off of Highland has some $20 spots. Stop and get some drinks at Chimes beforehand too

Your best bet is to park on GSRI and walk. Enjoy your trip!

What direction will you need to go when you get to the interstate? This is vitally important, because if you park in the wrong lot, contra-flow traffic will force you to go up to an hour in the wrong direction.

Don't come unless you want to get hi without ever touching a Doobie.

park by alex box stadium (baseball field) there is free parking there. just get there real early it helps being closer to the main road. its maybe 3/4 of a mile from the stadium.

get there between 9-10am and you can walk across the street to walkons restaurant and there will be plenty of tailgating going on in the area. it's also a lot safer side of campus.

There you go. You may have to walk a little way, but it is an atmospheric walk.

What time are you planning on getting there?

If early, the lots by the ag center are free and they open up ag center for bathrooms. It's like a 20 minute walk to the stadium, but getting out is stupid easy after the game.

Whatever you do, only park on roads named after presidents.

This x100. Also, the lots between Lod Cook and Fraternity Row usually don't fill up till later, and they're free.

Don’t listen to the smartass responses and park near the baseball stadium - most of that is free and you’ll be safe.

Park downtown and take the bus shuttle….it’s important as to where you park before the game and to where you are trying to get back to after the game
