I like the idea of a more integrated building, less surface parking, numerous underground stalls. Obviously substantially more expensive to build, but it would free up additional space around the stadiums for restaurants, hotels and an entertainment district. The revenues from those developments would easy offset the underground parking costs.
Spit balling ideas...

No real above ground parking in Toronto outside of the ACC. I actually don't know what the parking situation is there, but the ACC is suround by highway and other DT buildings and the train station. I just assumed they have underground parking but I don't know.
