I think this is pretty inaccurate.
Parramatta is not that easy to get to for much of Sydney. If you're coming from the South or North you most likely have to catch a train through Central anyway.
Parramatta Stadium is about 20 minutes walk from Parramatta Station. The walk from Central to Allianz is similar. For most people that will mean shuttle buses which is one thing that people complain about regarding Allianz. Allianz will have light rail access from Central in a few years time which will make the issue much less significant at Moore Park.
Parramatta Stadium has far less parking available than Moore Park which would be even more exacerbated if Parramatta was upgraded to a bigger stadium.
There are plenty of carparks at Moore Park. That is not the problem. The issue if you drive there is getting out of the place at the completion of activities. It can take up to a half of footy just to get out of the car park, and then another chunk of time to clear the jam around ANZAC Parade.
Trying to take the car to Homebush is also a frustrating mongrel waste of time.
Public transport and/or a good walk are really the only good options. The good walk to/from Moore Park is a little more attractive than that to/from Homebush.
