I've never been myself, but have heard the number of people is incredible. My brother lives outside of Louisville and said the traffic is a nightmare. There's an FAQ section on their website that provides parking and viewing information. If you're staying in town and don't want to go anywhere else during the event, it might be best to just stay downtown and walk from your hotel. Otherwise, I'd imagine you could expect to park and walk for quite a distance. Another option would be to stay and/or view from the Indiana side; but, I would only do that if you didn't have to try to go back through Louisville at the end of the event. I've asked my brother for some additional tips, and will get back to you once I hear from him.
