I’m sure this has been discussed ad nauseum but couldn’t find anything on here.
Been a decade since I’ve been to a game at JHS but got a hold of tix tomorrow and taking the Brother in Law and nephews.
What/where is the parking situation in 2022 at and around JHS? We’ll be staying in LaGrange tonight and heading out early in the morning. What exit should I take? Last time I went to a game one was preferable to the other but I honestly have had a rough decade and can’t remember shiite
Any help would be appreciated. Also can we buy alcohol in JHS yet?

I age not been since 2018 or so.

I used to park at the Auburn Police Department east of campus. This was good because we’d walk through Toomers on the way to car. Then it’s straight to I-85 and we’d be in Lagrange fairly quickly.

I don’t come from that way and I usually have a spot so not much help. Just wanted to add that 11:00am games can be a nightmare with traffic because everyone is getting there at the same time, around 8:00am.

I do know that coming in from that way you can park in Tiger Town and ride the transit. The transit starts running 4 hours before kickoff.

I’d exit at Bent Creek Road (exit 57) and come in on Glenn Ave. Pay to park at Auburn Bank downtown or the United Methodist Church. You’ll spend a little extra but the convenience is worth it for someone who hasn’t been to town in a decade.

Get to campus around 8 or so and you’ll be fine. The traffic ramps up at 2 hours before kick, but let’s be real it’ll probably be a ghost town tomorrow.

Enjoy the trip.

There’s a parking deck on Burton. It’s a long walk and costs money, but it’s easy to get to and has never been packed too early for me.

I get off at wire road and park at wood field drive at lem Morrison (basically across the street from the soccer and track facility.

You can walk up past the red barn to the stadium.

I didn't see this question asked, so I will. What window should a brick with "Fire Harsin ASAP" painted on it be thrown through to most effectively deliver the message?

Get off at Bent Creek, take a left on Dean, then a right on Thatch. You could risk parking behind Cambridge on Gay street, just hopping a curb if you get there early enough. I've done it plenty. Or you can check to see if there are spots left at the Methodist Church lot online now, and prepay for guaranteed worry-free parking. Usually around $40 to park there.

On the northwest corner of Ross and Glenn there’s a building that has the offices of an Auburn law firm. When I was still regularly going to all games just a few years ago, these offices were always closed on Saturday and I never observed a “private property, no parking sign”, so I always parked there (for free) and walked on campus. It’s not an appropriate spot for tail-gating though, but if you’re just parking I found it convenient (and free). Best to approach and leave this spot from Bent Creek (still Airport Road to me), Exit 57.

This is what I was going to suggest as well, but wasn't sure there was still parking at Auburn Bank. We used to park there all the time when it was a fundraiser for NAMI or Kiwanis Club, but haven't been down since Iron Bowl in 2019.

If you come in on Glenn, turn left on Debardeleben and then right on East Magnolia. If you get there super early there may be some street parking on Debardeleben between Glenn and Mag, or on Mag between Debardeleben and Ross.

Thanks all. Just got to LaGrange.
We’ll go the Exit 57 route and hope the Bank or Methodist church still has parking.
Thanks again and War Eagle.
