I have a car but choose to take Trax everyday to the U (why not, it drops me off at the exact same spot I would park and it's free for U students). I take Trax to all the games and have never had a problem.
Also, Trax is about the simplest mass transit system ever. You've got the University line which goes.... to the University from the Delta Center with stops every couple of blocks. You also have the Sandy line which runs North/South and has less frequent stops. Trax cars come about every 15 minutes.
If I were you I'd park at one of the University line stops if you're looking to avoid hassle. There is currently a LOT of construction at the U which has really taken a toll on parking (Library lot, Engineering Lot). It will be more difficult to park this year and especially for the first game when no one has any clue as to what lots are closed etc...
There's a stop at the public library on 4th south between 2nd/3rd east, also another across from the Chili's/staples on 4th south between 6th and 7th east, and another on 4th south between 8th and 9th east. In my opinion that lot will fill quickly and people will get booted... I would park on the street on 6th East off of 4th South and take that Trax station. I believe they call it the Trolley Square 6th East stop (even though it's not exactly trolley square).
From the 400 S 600 E stop, it'd take maybe 4 minutes to get to the stadium. You'd most definitely have to stand on the train though, it'll be really crowded.
boardmail me if you have any questions.
