Bringing the family to Auburn tomorrow. I have no idea where to park. It’s been almost 20 years since I graduated, and probably 15 since I’ve been to town.

I've had a lot of luck parking here Google map pin

In the back corner of RV parking, but I dunno if that's still viable this year yet

I used to park at the Auburn Police Station.

It is a good walk to the stadium, but easy egress to I-85N.

Purchase ahead of time... LINK

Lots of non-Auburn folks who will create more traffic problems, parking problems. Spend the money and ensure a smoother process. Also plan you exit strategy, try not to cross back through town. Example, if you live in Atlanta do not park south of Auburn.

AU police non existent to clear traffic after the game from the west lots. Been sitting 45 minutes in parking lot at complete standstill. Typical AU shitshow.

Awesome match. Really cool to see one of the greatest of all time on our field.

BUT-the city and the university totally, completely failed at organizing-there were sections of streets closed, and no police presence to help with traffic flow before or after the match. We live about an hour from the stadium and used the transit service from one of the shuttle lots. We got on the bus @ 6:05 and were lucky to get in at the scheduled 7:30 start time

I've bitched about the traffic for years. The city and university is simply inept at handling traffic flow

Awesome match though. Cool experience

Took an hour and 45 minutes to go 3.4 miles to the entrance of our neighborhood. I've been going to AU sporting events for 50 years and never experienced anything as poorly handled as tonight. We paid to park in the west lots but upon arrival there was no one on site to scan the parking pass. When exiting, there was no university or police personnel on site to direct traffic. It got to the point after an hour that some people took it upon themselves to get into the middle of the road and take over traffic management. It appeared the university wanted to maximize profits by cashing in on parking fees but not actually paying anybody to work the areas. Then once we eventually made it onto East University, traffic in the left lane was backed up from the intersection of College all the way to the intersection of Dean waiting to make a left turn onto College. Fortunately, we were able to bypass that by going down the right lane and then turning into the gas station past the Publix to go around all that mess and then behind the Publix to get back onto College. At that point, traffic was backed up all the way from 280 to the Waffle House. Just incredible for what was now 1 hour and 40 minutes after the game had completed. Not sure why the university and city decided to not implement the standard post football game traffic management plan tonight. They took a great event and left everyone thinking the town is full of incompetent leadership on their way out of town.

I think I would recommend never to get reservations in the Nurse Gravel parking lot. Getting into that parking lot was a nightmare too, the parking attendant had no help and was one by one directing people in (No police in the area on the main street other than one PARKED at the red light not doing anything). Finally I got tired of it and went up the exit lane, which should have been clearly marked as an option then the lady LOOKED at my ticket, didn't scan anything and let me in--I could've had anything there. Also stuck there for a long time leaving, but then we snaked around to the Duncan Drive rear exit, and then went to samford, and would you look at that police directing traffic and no problems leaving down Samford. I don't think police were at the exit of the nursing lot. On top of all of that there was no planning with the state obviously as there was construction on the left lane of traffic near shorter that had a 42 minute delay. Even some Montgomery PD vehicles decided to skip past all of it in the emergency lane.

ETA: Game was incredible to experience, plus Messi. I feel like they need to have a supporter section area where chants can be generated because I'm sure it would've been a lot more wild, also I guess the crew was like F Iceland, and hardly had any involvement with the crowd.

ETA2: Hats off to the grounds crew, what a great surface
