The "hate" is because the Musk proposal would accommodate 2800 people per day, or less than 3% of the crowd of a typical game, most of which arrives within the space of the same 2-3 hours. (In comparison: the lowest-capacity trains in the LA Metro system can handle 2800 people in half an hour--about 4 trains--running on a regular schedule, or 6000+ running on special-event schedules.)

In other words, its a solution to absolutely nothing. In fact, it's worse than nothing: it's just Elon bloviating another half-assed idea that he takes no responsibility for.
