There's a bunch of office proposals (some very giant IIRC) around Bayview station. If they get developed, it would be perfect to provide some nice juicy parking spaces for event nights. After 6pm and on weekends office parking would be very empty, so whoever owns those buildings would be foolish NOT to sell spaces there.

This is all about the overall community design. It has to be a mixed community and lots of people have to live there. Bars and restaurants will never be really successful if the bulk of their patrons are sports fans who provide business only 40 days of the year for a couple of hours.
So I am looking for what comes with an arena plan. I want it to be as exciting as possible.
