I think if there are crowds heading inland after an event, they would just continue through the tunnel to LSE park on the lower level, rather than going up a narrow staircase. Then they can fan out to various access points to continue east (Field Blvd, 2x Aqua stairs, elevators in the Village Market, etc).
The real value of the stair is for the many random tourists who end up on Harbor Drive trying to walk to Navy Pier. All you need is one sign directing these folks down the "hill" past Cirrus and they will end up at DuSable Harbor where the new flyover takes them the rest of the way. Reopening the stairs on the LSD bridgehouses will help to bring people from the riverwalk to Navy Pier too.
