In all likelihood if it were built in this form in this location, people would gather at Stephen Avenue before the game, grab a bite and a drink there and hop on the C-Train a block over and get to the game (kind of like today), rather than it creating any new activity near or around the facility.
What I was getting at is as designed, the bars and restaurants would either be on 10th Avenue (maybe that's fine?), or they would be east or west of the actual arena/stadium, several hundred metres away from the station and no apparent way to actually get there by foot from the station. Ideally, you'd want these uses en route from the origin (either LRT or downtown) to the destination.

Maybe. Lots of assumptions there, considering we're still talking about conceptual drawings.
