Lots of talk this week about Tiger Stadium emptying out after halftime. The majority of folks say they leave because of two things: parking (it's a hike back to your car) and traffic (you can sit for hours if you leave at the wrong time).
In your experience, which SEC stadium has done the best job with parking and traffic?

SC's isn't on campus and out in the middle of a big field so they probably have the best parking.

South Carolina's stadium isn't even on campus? It's in the middle of nowhere?

I have only been to Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Oxford and Baton Rouge. They are all bad. Anytime you have 100,000 people cramped up for a football Saturday it's hard to have an efficient parking and traffic setup. Dallas was much better than the SEC venues. Pasadena looked pretty rough too.

South Carolina is a nightmare leaving. Easily the worst sports venue traffic I've ever sat in.

I can get out of Tuscaloosa in less than 20 minutes after the walking out of the stadium. MSU is probably the worst that I've seen.

Yea - getting out of Tuscaloosa is much better than it used to be.
Park back at a house between 15th and Bryant, get on Hackberry/Hargrove and stay on it until Skyland, Skyland to JVC Rd, JVC Rd to the Cottondale exit. Or if it is still bad, meander on 11 down to the Mercedes Plant and then get on.
Haven't had any real issues in a while. 60-90 minutes back to Birmingham.

Kyle Field is great if you live on a bus route. For UCLA I was staying with my old neighbor. I had a parking pass so I went ahead and used it. Stayed the whole game like a good Aggy. The garage I parked in was naturally not moving, so we walked to the bus and I had someone bring me back to my car 3 hours later. Worked out great.
Otherwise its not great. Kyle is on the southwest side of campus so there are only a few roads you can take to get out of the congestion. It's never a big problem for me though. I grew up there so I know all the back roads. For the last several years they have made some roads unidirectional for an hour or two after to get people out quicker.

If I drive myself, I park at the church behind Central High school. Straight shot after the game. Very little traffic on 10th Ave. Take a left on Greensboro. Follow it until it runs into 82. Out of town in less than 20 minutes (including the walk to the car).

Yeah, sometimes I like to take Dalrymple to East Campus, over to South Campus, then to West Lakeshore, which brings me to Stanford. From there I like to do South Lakeshore to Ross which brings me over to Jolly, and then up to Hyacinth on Cloverdale. From there it's an easy ride home.

Never had any issues leaving Athens. I don't really remember the last departure though.

Lol if you have trouble with leaving our stadium then you're doing something wrong.
I've never gotten stuck leaving and I've been going for 20 years.
Go to Clemson and try leaving and see how heavenly our traffic situation is.

LOL
The route I'm describing just changes names 3 or 4 times. You literally only have to make like 2 turns.

I got stuck leaving Athens for about an hour in 2009. I think something had happened though, so I didn't judge.
I literally sat still leaving Clemson for two hours. Never moved.

Florida's parking is fantastic. Wherever you can fit your car

Only been once but other than getting stuck in the sand (and having to get pulled out by gator fans after getting assraped 56-6) Florida was easy as hell to get in and out

They still do the "Get To the Grid" bus service from Post Oak Mall, right? No idea why more folks don't take advantage of that.
