One of my favorites, just remembered it, and this article is from the AU’s perspective.

I like that they have to explain it to Aussies because they don’t understand why there would be a need for massive parking lots.

Not all US cities have reliable or widespread public transport networks, so it’s likely that a similar number of Americans drive to and from concerts. As such, most stadiums in the US are surrounded by vast parking lots to accommodate all the vehicles - but not in Australia.

    Brit here. I think we’re the same? I’ve never gone to a concert by car. It’s usually in a major city and it’s just easier by train. Not cheaper, though.

    I’ve had friends tell me they’ve been stuck in car parks for hours while leaving concerts, so people obviously do it. It’s just not a great idea.

    I guess it’d be different if we had massive car parks instead of train stations, which is becoming more the case with shopping.
