I never have a problem with parking in there, it's just a matter of going to the right place. I use 101 north, exit off of Siena, and go down under the bridge, down to Alaska pier. Park, walk across the tracks to the masses;)
Music is worse than the wave. You've been to a lot of stadiums? I grew up going to Dodger field in the late 70's, (still remember those Reds vs. Dodgers games... and that infield: Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey-- one of the best ever).
I have made the homage to Wrigley's bleachers and Fenway's 3rd base line near the green wall, now those are the ballparks! I've been to about half a dozen more, but nothing really memorable. One thing I do remember was getting down to the 2nd or 3rd row in the old Kingdome to watch Johnson win his 20th, and Griffey hit his 52nd, that was sweet. I've not been to a lot of the newer parks yet in the midwest or east, nor Yankee stadium-- gotta do that one.
Portland, OR (nearest to me) has a AAA team now, renovated Civic Stadium, a pretty cool park, the left field open to the street for freebie viewing(this cuts down on the musak effect), the field is sunken, so there is to be a huge ivy wall on the left/center field walls-- when it was single A last year, they had a hot tub beyond the center field wall, that was pretty original.
