Not if you actually got a spot to park on campus (they limited it to 6000). It was actually worse. You'd be better off parking a couple miles away and walking than trying to park close to the stadium at Oxford. Absolute nightmare.

I've been to Oxford (twice), Starkville, Fayetteville, and Tuscaloosa. Starkville was easy, but we pretty much ran them out of the stadium so that might not be typical. Both times in Oxford, everyone stuck around to the end and traffic was bad. Fayetteville wasn't good. Tuscaloosa is terrible if you're heading to Birmingham post-game, but I heard from folks who went west after the game that it wasn't very bad that way.

College Station is easy. Even with 20,000 more seats, I wouldn't expect traffic to be much worse--the additional fans are going to have to park at remote locations and ride shuttles because they haven't added any more parking on campus, at least not yet.

I forgot to mention Baton Rouge. We were on a bus and, while it to a while to get back to the interstate (they sent us on road that ran right by the river), at least we were moving fairly quickly. Of course, there were probably 25000 no shows for that game, and with the weather and the way the game went, a lot of those who did show left early.
