LOL! SF Giants parking settle down? Are you aware of where the ball
park is located? The whole point of putting the stadium where it is
(besides availability and cost) was for people to walk or use public
access.

Does the icon of stadiums, Wrigley Field, have parking? I think not.

49ers fans tailgait too, but they don't wear all the make up and
costumes like Raiders fans do. Raider fans are definitely worthy of
TV close ups! IMO: watching 49er fans is like watching Stanford
Cardinal fans... too bad we (meaning both teams) don't have a band as
entertaining as Stanford's.
