Maybe half the crowd drives.

Plus because it is out of the core, more people are forced to drive to the games from parking locations downtown. Being in the west end means that it will be part of the downtown core, and anybody who drives downtown currently wont have to move their vehicles if they go to the games. Short walk, cheap taxi, or possible game day shuttle buses.
