With that volume from events though, I wonder if a Sunalta2 or an increase in size of the station would be necessary.
I think that yellow dot in the map pic is the station actually.

Edit: the yellow dot on the second picture is a shopping icon... probably Sentry Box. The station is down and to the left from there.

There is already a reasonably wide bridge from the station across the Canadian Pacific tracks that was built with the station, and then a narrower bridge goes across Bow Trail to the Greyhound station.
I'd imagine that a new bridge over Bow Trail could be built with the arena to replace (or exist in addition to) the narrow one.
The station itself can't be any worse than Victoria Park, where much of the platform is taken up with the star/escalator enclosures.
