Actually, the largest single parking structure in the United States (and second largest in the world after the one at Pierson Airport in Toronto, I believe) is at Detroit's Metropolitan Airport with something like 11,500 spaces. They could be wrong, though.
And, the tallest in the world was the one at the Carew-Netherland complex in dowtown Cincy. It was demolished in the late 80's. It stood 342' tall and contained 27 floors. Here it is in the Carew-Netherland complex. It's the red building just left of the tallest in this photo:

There is also an automated one still standing in Chicago, I believe, that is over 20 stories, as well. Most of them are historic. The Carew-Netherdland one was constructed in 1931.

At 27 stories tall, wouldn't it be quicker to park out of town and get a bus in than to park on the upper floors?? Can you imagine the queue at rush hour time trying to get out of the thing? I find the multi-story car parks at the National Indoor Arena bad enough, and they're only a few stories tall.
