So if that is a reflection of attendance I would say a generous estimate would be at least 85% of the fans arrive by vehicle from what I see on a nightly basis.

There are about 3200 parking stalls on the Stampede grounds. Maybe another thousand or two in the surrounding area. That sounds like a lot but assuming every single one of those stalls was used by someone going to a Flames game (which is not true, at all) you'd have to have cars with four occupants apiece parking in all those stalls to get anywhere near 85% of the crowd.
Maybe half the crowd drives.
