      Even if you were a local you probably wouldn’t appreciate it unless you saw it like this. How much housing/flats could have been created rather than spending at most a few nights a week as a car park?

      Why dod they not build a 3-4 story parking garage around the stadium? The area of the parking loy ia greater than the stadium itself.

        Parking garages are expensive. You can spend $30,000 to build a space… At $50 a game you’d pay it off in 7.5 seasons, not controlling for maintenance and operating costs.

        Now the trend is to build entertainment districts around venues… Which creates more revenue per square foot, so you’ll start to see more garages going up.
