Yes, OUR money, we all live in this great city and contribute to it. Nobody wants to fight traffic all the way to and from that sorry site. After I took my kids to the fireworks this year and spent over an hour trying to get out it

F* that seems like quite a long time to get to the fireworks, do you mind telling us where you parked? That does seem overly long and is concerning. My suspicion is that you parked at Bayfront park which pretty much only has 1 lane in / out and there's a 4-way stop on that road too. One well known problem with Bayfront is that it is across the railroad track and hence access is limited.

The site for the West Harbour stadium, however, is on the south side of the railroad tracks and so there's plenty of access directly to major arterial routes. The parking at Bayfront probably shouldn't really be counted in the available spots for the stadium, unless the cost of improved access over the tracks is being included.

If you do plan to attend the fireworks in the future, I'd suggest street parking on the street on the south side of the tracks. Its currently free at night and only about a 10 minute walk to Bayfront park. Heck, if the stadium is built, you'll be able to park in that lot and then have direct access to Barton or you can drive a block south and get onto York, or 2-3 blocks to get to King.
