Huh?  That would be any different than it is today?

The Qwest Center currently has 4500 parking spots on
that property.  About 900 spots are going to used by
the stadium, but they are proposing replacing all
those spots, and then some.  There will be over 5,000
spots within seven blocks of the stadium, with the
majority within a couple of blocks of the outfield.
