Depending on where you live or how far away you live from your destination, taking transit is NOT an option! Anyway, with the price of transit these days, particularly across three zones, you're paying the same amount that you would pay for parking! (Let's say three zones, both ways, during peak period, which = $10, if you didn't buy a day pass.)
I guess if you took transit you would end up saving $ on the gas, but since it would take you twice as long by transit as it would by car, you're not saving any time. And while transit is better for the environment, driving is better for your sanity! So, taking transit a long distance in this city is not all that beneficial or cost effective.
You are paying to rent land, nothing more. The market dictates how much they can get away with charging. And by paying it, you justified how much they charge. If the game was sold out, the parking lot would be fuller. If you parked on the PNE grounds themselves, some of that money probably went to pay for the attendant in the booth, maintenance, etc...
If you had that space, how much would you charge? Remember, you're a business man so free is not an option.
Ps. There are ways to get around the whole paying for parking thing out at the Coliseum. Certain places, certain amounts of shadyness. I couldn't tell you how or where--I am but a peasant who takes the bus, so I don't really know for absolute certain. But I do know they exist.
