There were some traffic restrictions and officers directing. I think part of it was timing. People not getting out until 5 from work and this starting at 6. Even though lots opened at 4. Plus homeowners were not parking cars on lawns since it was free parking at the stadium, but I would have paid $5-$10 if someone was opening up thier lawn for parking.
Also, I don’t know if this would have been different, I normally park on the south side, off Big Tree. Last night we parked on the North Side. I didn’t see any backup getting off at Milestrip like on game days so I figured I would try that.
