Parking at Tiger Stadium

North Stadium Road, Baton Rouge, LA 70803

The short answer

Free public parking exists but is limited, first come, first served. Most campus lots are reserved for permit holders; rideshare and the shuttle both use Lot 406.

Where to park

Grey zones on LSU's parking map are free public parking. Availability is limited, first come, first served, and areas can close for weather or other reasons.
Green, blue, pink, orange and gold zones are reserved season parking for football season-ticket holders.
Exterior lots open after 5 p.m. Thursday; interior campus tailgating set-up starts after 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Saving spaces is not allowed. Parking on the Nicholson Drive shoulders between West Chimes and Brightside is not allowed and cars there are towed.

Shuttles & park and ride

The shuttle picks up at Lot 406, drops off at Lot 101, and returns from in front of Nicholson Gateway until about 90 minutes after the game. Cost isn't stated; LSU posts weekly updates at LSUsports.net/gameday.
Local businesses also run buses; LSU points fans to local media for pickup spots.
