For me it is not about parking per se. But does it make sense to have an amateur athletic facility essentially be in the same building as a major events center/arena? When the arena is in use, will the fieldhouse be able to be used to the fullest extent possible?
If your fitness club was connected to the Saddledome, would you be using it on game nights? Could you hold a youth soccer tournament/track meet on nights when the Flames are playing? Obviously anything is possible but I just wonder if logistically it's a good idea.
I get all the posters saying you have to use public transit living in a big city. Fair enough. Did NYC build a fieldhouse connected to MSG in the middle of Manhattan? Are there legitimate examples of this concept in use currently?
