it is a mile walk, but MTA is pretty good about matching service to expected volume, so getting back towards where ever you're going isn't too bad. the parking lots are always a pain, they didn't design fed ex field's parking/highway access right, so it can take hours to get out of there if you park. it's bad enough that a bunch of people leave at the beginning of the 4th to avoid as much of it as possible.
parking or metro are both more painful than they need to be, but that's due to bad logistical design by the team/county.

I'm not against the walk to the Morgan Blvd station since its a day game unless it's raining. I refuse to leave a game early. If anything I tend to stay late to let the traffic clear out a little. I do like the idea of not sitting in traffic for 2 hours if I can avoid it, especially if parking is going to be $40 or more.. In Philly, I think parking was $20 in the stadium lots and I got valet parking 10 feet from the gate at Fenway for $35 so I just can't grasp $40-$50 for basic parking a half mile away.
