Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia has a capacity of 100,000 and instead of being surrounded by parking, it’s surrounded by parks.
This cricket ground is around twice the seating capacity of the stadium in the post. America really fucked up.

Mom says it’s my turn to repost this tomorrow.
I did not see it in my feed! But I am not a super regular user as well…
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.
My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.
Look up the largest stadium in the world, Strahov in Prague, that hosted the Communist “Spartakiad” parade every May 1st. Almost every performer and attendee arrived via the high-capacity tram and bus terminal Smyčka Dlabačov, often after taking a train and the metro. As a result, the parking lot is absolutely tiny.
I am sure many here have seen this, but this photo seems very informative on the waste of space that is parking lots.
