How much parking demand does an event at Subaru Park create?
An average Subaru Park event draws an estimated 17,500 people. At 2.8 people per car, that is about 6,250 vehicles. With an estimated 3,000 on-site spaces covering about 48% of them, roughly 3,250 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 $25 average rate, the off-site parking market around Subaru Park is worth about $153,125 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 5,000 vehicles and off-site overflow to about 2,000; if one in three does, overflow falls to about 1,188. Sold-out games and concerts at the full 18,500 seats push the other way.

What could a parcel near Subaru Park earn on event days?
About $2,763 per event per acre, as a planning estimate: 130 spaces per acre × 85% event-day fill × $25. Across about 40 event days, one acre near Subaru Park models to about $110,520 gross a year, a half-acre to about $55,260 and two acres to about $221,040.
