Parking garages costs a lot more than surface parking. And the amount of traffic which can leave is limited by the surrounding roads, not by the exits.

Edit: I'm not saying this is a good thing. I'm saying it's the reasoning of the people who build stadiums.

Are you factoring in the opportunity cost of the wasted (poor optimized) space? Of all the extra fuel people have to burn to get around said wasted space? What about the long term environmental impacts?

Wasting land is only cheaper because the real costs get put on the rest of society and future generations.

No, and neither are the people building/paying for the stadium

I agree 100%. Public transport is the only sensible approach to getting people to stadiums. If it were my choice I wouldn't provide parking at the venue at all.
