Anyone that thinks we can do without a parking lot for Lansdowne has never tried finding street parking downtown during the weekend. Lansdowne will most likely be attracting hundreds if not thousands of cars to it, and there needs to be appropriate space to accommodate these vehicles. Without proper parking, no one will ever want to visit the venue. There is nothing more frustrating then circling city streets in search of a parking space and then having to walk 15 blocks, then coming back to your car later only to find a ticket on your windshield.  A parking lot is crucial to the success of the space.  Without it is inviting Glebites to put down their glasses of merlot and write strongly worded letters of discontent.
