Worst I have seen in my 31 years of going to games. How aweful was it for you? What did they screw up to get it so bad?

Bad traffic or fans leaving early, take your pick.

Leaving the stadium from the student section last night was a nightmare. Took forever.

I noticed on the walk back to my apartment that traffic was really bad, way worse than usual.

Thanks Haydel - that makes more sense now as as that is the direction we were leaving. I was just dumbfounded with how bad it was.

I have been to many last minute wins where the stadium was full, it was NEVER that bad!

Stayed till the end. Used free parking at the levee lots. Took slightly under an hour to get from lot to Miss River Bridge. Slow, but not the worst I've ever seen.

My worst was Vandy 96. Since circa 02 I found a sneaky sneak plan. Park free, walk about 1/2 mile to Stadium(tailgate is exactly halfway point). Takes maybe 30 min to get home from time we get back to tailgate and grab chair/cooler.

I was stuck in the bookstore garage for almost 90 minutes. As we left the garage my relative, who was in a lot across from the parade grounds, had just arrived home in Metairie. We left the stadium at the same time and both take Dalrymple. That is a huge difference in time considering the proximity to each other.

I think I was the last 10% of cars to leave campus. It took me three hours to get home.

I knew parking in that lot would be bad for the big games going down to the wire, but yikes people gave up and started tailgating again. Besides the Monday night game against Tennessee that was the worst I have experienced leaving campus.

Next big game I am going to Chimes afterwards.

Traffic was far worse than after most games where everyone stays.

Last year for Bama we had friends in town and had specific plan to park in garage and not leave after game. Went home about 1am(chimes Street bars) and was easy peezy. If people were still in traffic last night at 1am, Something was wrong for sure. That said, my usual plan worked flawlessly in 30 min

It took over an hour to get from 102 to I-10 leaving after the last play.

Worst I've ever seen.

We parked in Bernie Moore track parking lot. Stayed until the end. Traffic didn't move one inch for over 2 hours. Wheels did not exit lot until 12:15 AM. Didn't get home until 1:30 AM.

It was by far the worst traffic situation I've ever experienced at LSU. No idea of there was some accident, or just a cluster of traffic.

We did stay in our seat a little while after the game to let the section clear out tho
