If you're referring to parking garages for football fans, I get your point. If you're just saying that all parking garages, no matter what they're for, are stupid, then I'll have to disagree. They are a great way to add additional parking to places with limited space. I know I never would be able to find parking at the mall without the 5 story parking garage.

This.

If you're parked in a multi-level garage at a place where everyone leaves at once it's a total cluster-f**k. I've seen it before at a large movie theater after the power went out during a storm and they sent everybody home. It took us an hour and a half to get out . . . . and it wasn't the biggest parking garage in the world.

Yes this would be very nice!

So my question is why the hell would anyone want to go to a game and park in a freakin 20 story parking garage? lol.

And are they still thinking about using them?

Reason i clown the idea is, how u gonna tailgate?

and

Does anyone even want to picture the nightmare of entering and exiting parking garages after while 80000 people are doing the same

The Padres have one for next to their stadium and it actually works pretty well. I know Petco only seats 42,000 but they do work for pro teams. We've parked there and didn't have much trouble getting out after the game.
