According to the Flames it's basically never 4000 and is usually closer to the lower limit. The Calgarynext proposal has 2400 dedicated parking spots planned, so there will be plenty of parking for regular fieldhouse use and about the same parking for Flames games. I forget what the number of spots was for McMahon, but it was definitely lower than 2000.
I also really like the dedicated shuttles to other near by parking complexes idea. That seems like it would really help with moving people out after games.

More crap from King, those 4000 spots are on the grounds, there's another 1200 or so on the west side of macleod and at least 1500 more north of the gates.
