WE HAVE THE WORST POST GAME TRAFFIC FLOW PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY

[Fighting Irish.sixpack]

been sitting in lot 17 for an hour And moved 3 car lengths. Jackson State couldnt screw this up this bad!!

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

I'm in 23 next to Allen, I have moved from my parking place to 5 feet from my parking place---started this journey at 12:16 AM --- should make it to West Point city limits sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Our parking pass planning isn't too spiffy either.

4 of the last 5 SEC games there have been no spots available in my lot when I arrived approximately an hour before kick off.

 

[00dog]

It's almost 1:30 and I can't even back from my parking space. Never seen it this bad anywhere.

Stone Blvd to Blackjack (should've gone Artesia) to dirt roads to 45. Now home to Tupelo faster than an LSU defensive end through our O line.

Dan still refuses to hire a traffic coordinator**

Right here with you (Lot 17)...though we've not even cranked the truck to attempt...anything. An EVENT STAFF employee on a golf cart just asked me for directions on how to "get to the front." The front of what, I don't know, after 10 min talking with her, so she joined the line of cars. I'm so glad I overestimated the amount of beer I'd need. Also, glad I'm not driving, though from the look of it, we'll be sleeping in the truck regardless.

Got to the truck at 1am. Posting this at 2am. Haven moved in an hour.

 

[00dog]

Same here. Is a train stopped on a new track that circles the campus?

 

[prairiedawg]

Yep 2 hours to finally get out of 23. Unbelievable this level of screw up. They had the south roads blocked for some reason.

 

[MississippiHeavyMetalDog]

2 problems that I saw ...

The west bound lanes between lot 11 and 13 were single lane only. Last year it was divided into 2 (south bound turn lane and west bound lane). The cops allowing traffic flow at the vet school were not efficient. They would let traffic, vehicle or pedestrian, continue too long even when it was only a trickle.

Maybe they should use drones to get a better idea of the problems.

It's been horrible all semester. Various construction projects and closed roads have bottlenecked everything. Blackjack to 12 is a cluster17. We were given the whole "pardon our progress/isn't it glad we're growing" response. When we had the campus scare, no one could get off campus easily. Makes me fear what could happen if we had bad weather and everyone tried to get off campus at once (as you're witnessing now). Imagine being stuck where you are with hail and/or a tornado. Imagine emergency response trying to get either on campus or off-campus. This problem has existed for weeks now and it seems there is no plan but to wait it out.

2:30. Still not at our hotel just off the edge of campus.

Post of the 17ing night.

 

[coachtaylor.sixpack]

Feel for everyone stuck in traffic. I was getting mad about having to wait 20 mins to get to highway from lot 20

 

[Hankp22]

This thread is why parking passes have never interested me

I park a good ways from the stadium. It takes ten minutes to walk. But it is a nice/enjoyable walk. I was off campus as soon as I got in the car. And was in Philadelphia 75 minutes after the game ended.

You can walk faster than you can drive after football games.

2:30. Still not at our hotel just off the edge of campus.

I stayed til the end of the game and was in Memphis before 2:30

 

[MaroonNation]

I never park on campus either for this exact reason

 

[MaroonNation]

No. That was Stricklin's master plan to sell those new on campus tailgating condos.

 

[Dogariffic]

Yall are use to 40,000 people being at the stadium. The days of arriving 1:30 before kick off....tailgating a bit....wandering into the game just before kick off are over. Also having that "great" parking pass right next to the stadium that comes with your donation to the bulldog club is now a liability unless you plan to tailgate after the game for 2 hours.
And by the way....if anyone is tired of going to the games for any of the above give me your tickets. My son and i will gladly go and cheer in your place.

Imagine being stuck where you are with hail and/or a tornado. Imagine emergency response trying to get either on campus or off-campus. This problem has existed for YEARS now and it seems there is no plan but to wait it out.

This basically happened the day the tornado hit Louisville. They cut everyone loose at one time and I sat in line 30 minutes before giving up and going back into Simrall for shelter.
Also, FIFY

This^

I don't want to give up my spot, but I park down university and it's about a 15 min walk to the junction/stadium. It's free, too. It's, also legal. After games, I can walk back to my car in 20 mins, get in and go thru two lights and be on 82 within 10 mins. it's awesome. To me, paying to park on campus and sit it traffic for an hour plus is extremely dumb.

 

[cowbell88]

Was back at my house in Carroll county by 10 after 2. I went back to tailgate area and to get my stuff. Got in truck bout 12:30 and started moving by 12:45. Parked by seed lab on Stone blvd. Hit 82 by 1..

 

[prairiedawg]

I think the biggest issue was the south side of campus. Not really sure what the issue was other than the road/gate going south by what used to be Rice (maybe it still is Rice) was closed. I lost my cigar boy connection I had the last few years where I parked in the Barnes and Noble lot. Contrary to what was said earlier this is still best. You can be in your vehicle headed out before anybody else gets to their car.
