Post game traffic flow
Well, this has to be the most idiotic exit traffic flow I've ever seen anywhere. Left our parking lot, wanting to go east to Columbus. Went around President's Circle, intending to turn left between the library and med center. Nope ... had to turn right to Blackjack. Turned right there, intending to go to Hwy 12, then around to 82. Nope, had to turn left on Stone. It went somewhere out in the sticks. Eventually there was a sign saying "To 82". It just didn't say it was 30 miles away. Made another left turn on to Octoc (?). Went further out into the sticks and over the roughest paved road I've ever seen. Eventually got to Hwy 45 after maybe 15 miles. Had to go north, then get on 82 to Columbus.
Surely somebody could come up with a better traffic flow than that. If I miss the OM game it won't be because of the team ... it'll be the ridiculous traffic after the game.

Is controled by incompetent morons!

Park off campus. I walk about a mile to my car. Most games, I get in and then drive home. Today when everybody leaves at once, it took me 30 minutes to get from my car to the highway leaving Starkville.
I used to have an on-campus parking permit. A night like tonight would have taken my 2.5 HOURS to get off campus.

I have been everywhere in the SEC and I would honestly say ours is the worst in the league.

Welp. It’s one of the smallest campuses. And its had roads removed to make it more of a pedestrian campus.

I figured we actually were one of the larger ones if you included all of the farm land?
Anyway A&M and Arkansas both have FREE shuttles that run much more smoothly than the pay 20 bucks and park thing we do. If I'm going to spend 20 bucks to park the least they could do is get more people directing traffic.

I love my parking pass because it?s so close to our tent but if I didn?t have it I would use the shuttles. With the roads closed on game day and over 70,000 people on campus there is no way to quickly get them out of the relatively small area in which they are parked.

Agree. Baton Rouge seems like even when there aren't games though.

The problem is mainly allowing traffic to come onto campus after a game. ALL lanes should be out going. Also 4 way stops are better than cops or redlights. And the roads are roads, NOT sidewalks. Get out of the damn road if you are walking
Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

A pedestrian bridge at 12 and Russell St similar to the on university would help.

I got into my truck at 10:03 last night. I got home at 12:30. I live in Starkville.

That is actually a pretty good way to get off campus.
