HartAttack:
I want answers to some of those questions as well. But the bottom line is that the reasons that most cities are building downtown now include:
1) it helps revitalize the core
2) parking already exists
3) public transit is readily available
4) traffic flows are already built to handle rush hour (can handle far more than the traffic from an event), and traffic flows out in every direction (as opposed to situations outside of the core, where basically everyone is leaving in the same direction or a very limited number of directions).
I don't personally have all the answers you are looking for. But everything I have experienced elsewhere suggests that the area should be able to handle the parking requirements.
