The Capital Area Transit System (CATS) will continue its Touchdown Express Shuttle service from Downtown to LSU Home Football Games in 2011.

This year, Downtown patrons can bring a receipt from any restaurant / bar to the CATS shuttle, located at Convention & Lafayette ( Hotel Indigo & the Hilton ), and it will act as a free round trip pass to the LSU football game. Downtown provides free on-street parking on nights and weekends while the State Parking Garage, located at 201 Third St., charges only $3 and is less than a minute from the Touchdown Express loading point.

The Touchdown Express Shuttle is an easy and convenient way for Tiger fans to avoid traffic congestion and parking chaos on game day, and ride comfortably to Tiger Stadium. The shuttle will provide continuous service, beginning four hours prior to game kickoff, and ending one hour after the game ends. Avoid the hassle and expensive parking near LSU by parking Downtown this football season.

Ticket and season passes range from $1.75 for a one-way ride or $3.50. Tickets will be available at the Hilton Capitol Center, 201 Lafayette Street, 225 344-5866 and Hotel Indigo, 200 Convention St., 343-1515.

Visitors can board the Touchdown Express Shuttle at Hotel Indigo and Hilton Capitol Center. For additional information about the CATS shuttle service, call 225 389-8920 or visit www.brcats.com
