When leaving campus, fans should follow the direction of law enforcement as they are in position to get vehicles moving away from campus in the quickest manner possible.
Waze app directions located at LSUsports.net/gameday will help assist fans on their way home. Fans should expect and prepare for heavy traffic exiting parking lots. Once off campus, the goal of traffic control is to keep traffic moving and to get the majority of the fans to the interstate as quickly as possible, not to specific neighborhoods.
Fan are encouraged to adjust their driving habits to keep traffic moving in one direction, and to avoid unnecessary left turns and U-turns which can result in adding to congestion rather than getting to a desired destination quicker. The shortest route is not always going to be the quickest route home.
Fans who are moving south and east from campus, as an example, are encouraged to stay on the main roads of Burbank, Nicholson or River Road until they reach Bluebonnet Blvd or Siegen Lane, where traffic congestion will ease significantly toward the interstate. As traffic thins out, fans may then utilize the interstate system to backtrack and get to their final destination within the city. This approach can greatly reduce commute times compared to taking a left or U-turn along those main arteries onto other surface streets with heavy and sometimes heavier congestion.
13th Gate Now Open
The 13th Gate is now open in downtown Baton Rouge, which could add to the traffic congestion north of campus on Saturday night following the game.
