Not 500, not 1000, but 1500.
It's less than what we have now yes, but it's manageable and something that cities are doing more frequently.

Sorry, I caught the wrong numbers; 1,500 possibly at Calgary Next AND 4,000 at the Stampede Grounds alone.
Sweet jesus that's even worse. I'd wager that within a 10 minute walk of the Dome there are another 2,000 stalls at least in private lots alone.
Even with your higher number, the new arena would be at a minimum 70% reduction in parking on site alone compared to the Dome. And that is ignoring the fact there are 2 buildings that could see use simultaneously (not Flames/Stamps, but other events certainly) and not just 1.
