Right, but the current stadium proposal has about 400 parking spots. I am all for public transit, but we need a way to get people to and from the event. The Commons is much different from Shannon Park. 60,000 people are in walking distance of the Commons, I'd guess that number is less than 5,000 for Shannon Park.
