parking for sprint center is a pain in the ass. Lets try to bring in 13-30k more people 81 times per year and really piss them off.
Whether you like it or not, the average fan is going to choose the parking and tailgating over being in bars before and after games. Getting in and out quickly without having to navigate all the downtown one way streets is a huge plus as well.
Don't forget the down economy either. People don't want to have to spend MORE money to come to a game. Maybe the downtown elites with their expense account will maybe they won't but I wouldn't bet the bank on it.
