If you want to feel bad and hate cars even more than you did before, look up aerial views of "SeaWorld" and see how much space the actual sea life has there versus the parking space all around them.

My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.

Baseball was a secondary goal in the construction of Dodger Stadium. The primary goal was to get rid of a bunch of brown people who lived too close to downtown for whitey to handle.

When you understand that, the giant parking lot makes tons of sense.
