How much parking demand does an event at Fenway Park create?
An average Fenway Park event draws an estimated 36,500 people. At 2.8 people per car, that is about 13,036 vehicles. With an estimated 1,200 on-site spaces covering about 9% of them, roughly 11,836 cars per event look for parking off site, on transit or through ride-share.
If about 35% of attendees end up in paid off-site lots at the $60 average rate, the off-site parking market around Fenway Park is worth about $766,500 per event across all operators. That is a market-wide estimate, not what one parcel earns.
Transit and ride-share change the picture. If one in five attendees arrives without parking a car, demand falls to about 10,429 vehicles and off-site overflow to about 9,229; if one in three does, overflow falls to about 7,534. Sold-out weekend series and concerts at the full 37,755 seats push the other way.
