Worst traffic leaving the stadium?

I'm nominating LSU, Arkansas, and Bama. Hours to drive out if you aren't walking to bars/tailgate after the game.
I did see a guy get smoked on a bike after an LSU game though. Traffic was stopped heading East on Brightside and a guy jetted through the traffic coming out of the Brightside Bar & Grill and a westbound car smoke him going at least 40 mph. No way those drivers were sober (although it wasn't their fault) on a Saturday afternoon that close to Tiger Stadium

Florida was tough.
Ole Miss traffic can be a bitch too.

I was stuck in Athens for about an hour and a half in 2009.
Worst was Clemson. Literally did not move for two hours. Actually got out and started throwing the football to ease boredom.

Lsu after the Florida game last year was the worst Gameday traffic I've experienced in a long time.

I usually walk in Oxford but Ole Miss is a nightmare.

That's a tough one between those 3. We have hills and poorly thought out roads, LSU has LSU fans roaming about, and Bama has teabaggers.

Its traffic after a fricking SEC football game, its bad in every SEC town.

It's not at A&M. That probably changes with adding 20,000 seats to the stadium.
Lots of people park around town and ride a free A&M bus to the stadium. Helps with traffic a lot.

Everyone is trying to meet their off-season thread quota before the season starts.

Have you ever been to Ole Miss for a football game? Our entire campus is two lanes.

LSU, Bama, and OM, easily. LSU was just terrible because of the pedestrian traffic. They seem to take perverse pleasure in ruining any attempt to drive out. I understand they've done renovations since I was last at Bama, but back then, parking was a bitch because all the lots were filled with RVs and the stadium basically had one two-lane road running past on one side and the Greeks on another. And OM is basically stuck in the 1930s as far as traffic flow engineering.

Bama. Most are headed in one direction - B'ham.
Easiest. SCar, folks headed in many directions.

If I wasn't staying to tailgate in The Grove....I would always park right at the intersection of Sorority Row and Washington Ave. Taking that road around to Molly Barr and followed that all the way around to 7 got you out of Oxford really quick.

I always parked behind Kinard then go get it on Sunday. For whatever reason people would forget there was a huge parking lot back there.

Yeah I parked back there all the time for the games I stayed and tailgated for. It's not a bad walk. Kind of far...but not too bad. Always parking spots back there. Also a lot of spot were in the back corner near Northgate Apts and Crosby
