Assuming that the details of the partnership haven't changed, there will be a crap-ton of parking at the new Broadmoor station. This document was discussed in the transportation thread a while back (
http://capmetrotx.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3794&MeetingID=1868). It says 400 spaces.
The McKalla station will also have ample public parking available on days where there is no event at the stadium.
Crestview and all the other centrally located stations should never offer park and ride facilities because it is an extremely inefficient use of valuable land. All of those stations have free street parking available within a very short walk. This is especially true for Crestview, which also has the North Lamar Transit Center a 5 min. free* bus ride away.
* free if you buy a day pass for the train, effectively free if you only buy a 1-way ticket but time it properly
