Yep - that's something we tend to do well:

Melbourne Cricket ground (100,000 capacity)

Adelaide oval (53,000 capacity)

Brisbane Gabba (42,000 capacity)

Sydney Olympic stadium (83,000 capacity) (there are some carparks just out of view, but not many)

Yup. Run a metro line to it. Run 100 busses when there is a match. Don't take up so much space for something that's not in use for 95% of the time.

And make public transport free with your ticket. Works wonders here (Brisbane)!

They have near constant bus service on game night from the hub a couple of suburbs over - catch a bus to the hub and then straight on to the stadium.
Or bus / drive to the train station and train in - whatever your want.

A town next to us has free transport and it doesn't pan out great unless you have plenty of income from other places. They ended up with older busses, fewer lines and not much increase of people using it. A cheap, sustainable ticket will always be better for longevity than a free one, especially when the government changes and other things become a priority

MCG was the first stadium I thought of. Fantastic planning.
