Kirby Smith had a handfull of available slots around 1130. First place I looked...left at the end of the game...went down Highland and got on interstate with ease.

Spoken just like a kid under 25. Look I pay a LOT of money to get my parking pass, tickets, etc. and I don't want some 23 year old douche bag who couldn't care less about the game to ruin my day.

Ps, I drink all day AND have fun without being a douche !


Geees, you really are a dick, thought you were kidding.
You think you are the only a-hole that has a parking pass, season tickets, or taf dues?
How many "23 yr old douche bags" do you see on saturdays that dont give a frick a bout the game?
Most probably your assholish nature is the reason these people frick with you.
Im about 10 yrs older than that, but if I were around you IRL and you acted anywhere close to the way you've acted in just two posts here.... you wouldnt like me either.

Word of advice...Get the frick over yourself.

This is the same story for my group. We had 2 trucks out there that carry most of our supplies, but the rest of us parked in the Ag lot before noon. The small lot where all of us usually park that holds 10-12 cars had 2 yesterday.

My concern is that LSU is going to catch on to this and extend the pay parking all the way to Acadian next year.

At 3:00 I drove in down Highland, headed over to Burbank and parked near the new soccer field for free. I was worried about traffic, parking panic, etc. but it was a breeze.

whatever happened to the grass lots in front of the Natatorium? I used to park my car there the night before games. Can you do that still even if you pay?

Tailgating was down because people that just come out to games to tailgate were fewer than past years, and I love that. LSU got just what it wanted. Made game day better for the people that have tickets and I couldn't care less about the assholes that just come out to PARTY. F them.

I could care less about them too, but the "Party Only" crowd has every right to be there. Maybe all these parking charges and regulations will cut down on the number of cretins that just show up to get drunk and trash the campus, but you know they're probably all going to be back for the Florida and Auburn games.

what a fricking dick. Bet you are loads of fun to hang out with.... got your canes party trey and your six pack of o'dules. Good times.

What kind of high and mighty arrogant individual are you to call someone a "fricking Dick" just because they don't "Party" and don't like to see the campus trashed by idiots that don't really care about the actual game?

Not everybody is a weak willed alcoholic or addict that absolutely HAS to drink and get drunk in order to have a good time before or after an LSU football game.

I'm not a party person and you probably wouldn't want to hang out with me before, during or after a game either. It's all business from the time I enter campus until I leave. I enjoy myself just as much as anyone else, but I do it 100% sober. And hey, I can actually remember what happened during the game afterwards.

That's what we did. Usually our group brings probably 10-12 cars, all park in the Coates parking lot which is usually full by 10:30ish. Yesterday we all car pooled in about four cars. Even at the end of the day, the lot was only about 90% full, but our walk thru traffic down Tower Dr. was good. We had a great crowd at our spot. I remember looking up at one point thinking we had a really good crowd for such a crappy game. Overall, didn't notice a whole lot of dropoff.

I think that this is likely what LSU was hoping to accomplish.

We hit Kirby Smith around 2:00 and it was pretty full. We noticed some spots opened up right before heading to TS, I guess it was the tailgaters with no tickets heading home. The tailgating around Kirby Smith seemed pretty good, but I really don't have anything to compare it to, because this was my first time tailgating in that area.

Of course money has something to do with it you tard, but there are other factors involved as well.

I thought the same thing, but that's probably because we tailgate together.
