I left at 11. But wish I would have gotten there sooner to look at craft areas before rodeo.

Can you not purchase stuff before the rodeo?
yes, you can. that's what we did. we got there at 9:30 and left just before 2:00. worked perfect got there before the crowds and left after they lifted contraflow, when most were going to their seats.

What time should we leave the LSU area to get there before 2? No beer? Any parking/leaving recs?
no beer, cameras, guns etc. i have never been checked but if you had any of those items well i wouldn't want to know what they could do to you.

I arrived at 12, parked, looked around at the crafts, ate food, watched the prison band, and then watched the rodeo. As stated earlier, make sure to get in the traffic line that takes you on the levee by the Mississippi (west side).

You can't have ice chests, they don't sell beer, and you can't have knives or weapons. Keep in mind that the inmates are just walking around with you once you get past the gates to the crafts and arena. They are all on their best behavior, but just keep your wallet where you can feel it

I may have just got lucky, but if you come into Angola, see if the officer directing traffic will send you on the levee going west, so a left turn after going past the gate. This will put in the big field by the old abandoned cell block and they route traffic back on the levee from there

Got there at 9:30. Bought this etched glass picture.

Put it in the truck at 11. It was hot as hell. Totally miserable in jeans. Humid as hell. We decided to leave and grab a bite to eat. Had a burger and daquiris at the nearest gas station. Got back to the prison at about 1:30. We had one of the 50 seats in the sun. We said screw it and watched from the walkway in the shade. Watched the entire event and it literally took 10 minutes to get out once we got to the truck. It was a good time, except for the heat.

no it isn't. once you reach the point where both lanes are going into the prison [contraflow] get in the left lane that will take you through the main gate then to the levee. the right lane goes straight.
