How much parking demand does an event at Fiserv Forum create?
An average Fiserv Forum event draws an estimated 16,500 people. At 2.8 people per car, that is about 5,893 vehicles. With an estimated 1,200 on-site spaces covering about 20% of them, roughly 4,693 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 $30 average rate, the off-site parking market around Fiserv Forum is worth about $173,250 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 4,714 vehicles and off-site overflow to about 3,514; if one in three does, overflow falls to about 2,748. Sold-out games and concerts at the full 17,341 seats push the other way.
