Get a designated traffic flow plan in place for the stadium and all related streets. AND get qualified people in place with appropriate training. Someone will get hit or worse otherwise.
Before next football season, PLEASE

Yes because people are just lining up to control game traffic on a Saturday...
All directions are packed what else can you do? RV village definitely helps. In my opinion some games you win and some games you lose when it comes to leaving.
Dumb it all you want. This is like complaining about the drive thru service at McDonald's. Have some perspective.
Its not even a question of staff numbers. A lot of it is how we manage it and allow people to go every direction instead of directing traffic flow outward from the stadium even if it means some people have to take a longer route
If someone wants us to be big time, big city, then handle your traffic like they do.
It doesnt help much when so much of the pedestrian traffic crosses at S16th especially since we moved students to the south endzone.
Need a tunnel down there or something to separate people and cars.
It hasn't been this bad in the past so this new system of "directing" traffic isn't working.
Interesting. I was in Dallas and Austin a couple of weeks ago. Austin on game day. I presume they qualify as big time, big city. They can’t figure it out. People actually die daily on the roads.
I probably should qualified my response. I’m thinking specifically of Kansas City. When we were there for a game a few years ago, driving in and driving out were specifically directed. Much smoother even if I had to drive where I personally didn’t want to, because it was better overall for all.
I've actually thought traffic has been pretty decent this year vs recent years.
We park far away and walk just to avoid this mess. Part of the problem is the south side of 16th has a sidewalk on part of it, and a dirt path on the other part and nothing on the bridge over the creek. So you expect people to walk on the south side of the road, cross the street when there's thousands of potentially drunk drivers coming, and then cross back after the bridge? They should have just put a sidewalk on both sides of the bridge.
I said this when they were building. The bridge did nothing to address vetmed and student lot foot traffic without a proper sidewalk. I’m guessing that wasn’t really the point but I’d imagine with a proper sidewalk people would be more likely to use it.
I was thinking this thread would be about finding an offensive line
Just an FYI that tonight was also exacerbated by the All-State music festival happening at Hilton at 7:30 pm and ending around the same time as the game. So lots of extra vehicles, suburbans, busses, etc and drivers that aren’t familiar with gameday traffic flow.
But yes we were in B1 and I couldn’t believe that there was no one directing traffic at the exit onto beach. Normally we can slip out of the lot and make it to Lincoln way in no time. Not tonight
