Parking at AT&T
As you come north on 280 past the 280-101 interchange, you see signs for parking for AT&T several exits before the end of the freeway at 4th and King. I've never taken these, since it seemed so far from the park, and usually just go to Third, turn right, and park on the right just over the bridge.
Are these signs for parking that are quite a bit south of the park for "back routes" into good places to park or do they lead you to places that have a long walk?

Basically Mariposa lands you a few blocks south of the park. The exit before Mariposa lands you much further, around Ceasar Chavez. Too far for me to walk personally.

Are you going to a Giants game? I always take Caltrain. Two block walk to the park. Park at any convenient Caltrain station and you avoid all the traffic after the game. There are trains that leave 20 minutes or so after the end of games.

I strongly agree. It's slow going for everyone after a game. Not so bad if you get on a ferry or Caltrain, or you walk to BART. Muni N is tolerable, but it takes a while to board due to the crowds. The worst of all, of course, is driving.

I take BART and walk. The one time, many years ago, when I had an event (south of SF) after the game and drove and parked in one of the lots, I regretted it. The time I took people that couldn't walk that far, we parked at 5th and Mission and took UBER from there.

Not to jump in on a thread, but I am going to the game on Wednesday and bought a parking pass in lot A. Bringing the folks, so also have handicap placard, will this be a long walk to the park? How much time to allow from the GG bridge to the parking lot? Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestions. If I were going myself, I would definitely take Caltrain, but that is not usually an option. I have to drive. Just hoping for a better route in and out, especially out.
