How much parking demand does an event at TD Garden create?
An average TD Garden event draws an estimated 18,500 people. At 2.8 people per car, that is about 6,607 vehicles. With an estimated 1,275 on-site spaces covering about 19% of them, roughly 5,332 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 TD Garden is worth about $388,500 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 5,286 vehicles and off-site overflow to about 4,011; if one in three does, overflow falls to about 3,152. Sold-out games and concerts at the full 19,580 seats push the other way.
