How much parking demand does an event at Yankee Stadium create?
An average Yankee Stadium event draws an estimated 40,000 people. At 2.8 people per car, that is about 14,286 vehicles. With an estimated 9,000 on-site spaces covering about 63% of them, roughly 5,286 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 $45 average rate, the off-site parking market around Yankee Stadium is worth about $630,000 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 11,429 vehicles and off-site overflow to about 2,429; if one in three does, overflow falls to about 572. Sold-out weekend series and concerts at the full 46,537 seats push the other way.

How does the New York Yankees schedule shape parking near Yankee Stadium?
New York Yankees play 81 regular-season home games, many on weekday evenings, so Yankee Stadium generates far more event days (about 85 a year by our estimate) at a lower rate per day than a football stadium. Sharing the building between New York Yankees and NYCFC spreads those dates across more of the calendar.
