We stayed for the entire game. Left the Alex Box parking lot and was on I10 via Burbank and Bluebonnet in 37 minutes. The contraflow on Burbank helped move things the best I've ever seen. Usually takes me over an hour just to get out of the parking lot but not last night.

Actually saw a bunch of cops working the lights along Burbank too to keep the traffic moving. I like the contraflow.

I left at 0:00 from 103.

Got to my truck near ag center in about 10 minutes.

Was home in Shenandoah by 10:20-10:25.

We were parked at the Ag Center. The traffic was at a complete stand still. The Cops weren't letting anyone leave the parking lot. So we fired up the generator, watched the Utah ASU game and played some tunes.

When they finally let us leave, the cops had blocked the on ramp to the I10 at Acadian. Not sure what that was about. For a game that ended at 10, we didn't get back to Metry until 2am.

They shut i10 down at Acadian maybe due to wreck. Worst traffic I have ever seen.

Traffic is a small price to pay for a great game like that. We had a beer once we got back to car. It's not like we had anywhere to be.

Not everyone can sit back and tailgate though. My problem is that I'm sure we spent a million to have that consulting agency come in last year. What has changed?

Leaving the parking garage is worse than parking somewhere on the street. Always.

Stayed till 0:00, took a selfie with my kid and the field as backdrop. Left Stad Club West, walked down ramps and straight to the car in lot 403, headed right on Nicholson Ext to Highland, left on Lee, another Left on Perkins and on 1-10 headed west in no time at all, easy smooth flow, no back log getting out of lot or on Nicholson Ext/Highland. I don't know how it is leaving in other directions, but I never seem to have trouble getting out on that route, even at the very end of big games.

I honestly found the traffic to move well. I was on the interstate in less than 15 min and parked on campus.

100,00 people leave event at the same time = bad traffic 100% of the time anywhere on the planet. I was also home in less than a hr after getting to my vehicle, I live in Prairieville.

We stayed around for about an hour after the end and then sat in traffic for 1.5 hours. Apparently a wreck on Acadian messed everything up.

Blocking the eastbound on ramp turned a bad situation into a total disaster so hopefully it was just due to this and isn't part of some kind of new plan.

Not sure where some friends of mine parked but they said it took 3 hrs to get out of BR heading back to shreveport. they must have been driving in circles or something.
