Why is Traffic an excuse for those who spend hours (sometimes days) prepping for gameday?!

Traffic sucks no matter when you leave. Might as well stay longer into the game.

It's total BS. "But we have a river next to the stadium" or we have so many extra people on campus to tailgate", etc. EVERY stadium has traffic but those fans stay. I few that I have been to:

Neyland - on a river
Heinze Field - on a river
Paycor (Cincy) - on a river
Clemson - flanked by Lake Hartwell, nowhere near I-85
Notre Dame - deep in South Bend
The Swamp - have you tried driving through Gainesville?
Beaver Stadium - pretty isolated
Ohio State - in Ohio's largest city
Texas A&M - a loonngg way from I-10 and I-45, yet their fans stayed this year when they went up by double digits and the game was no longer in doubt
Lane Stadium (Va Tech) - way off the beaten path (Enter Sandman is awesome, BTW)
etc., etc.,

Of course there will be the bubbas on here who say "STFU and why do you care what we do with our money?". The short answer is, you're right, I don't give a f--k what you do with your money, but it sure is f--king embarrasing. So if YOU are the one who taps your significant other on the leg in the 3rd quarter to say "we got this, let's beat traffic, then my OPINION is you suck.

Going to LSU games for 45 years… it is getting worse. Poor leadership and lack of counter flow has made it NOT worth going to the games.

Because over the years LSU has taken more and more spots for tailgating away (or started charging for others). Tailgating and traffic used to be more spread out, and now it’s all pushed to one side of campus.
