When did Naito & Broadway become the only way out of the Pearl?
-How many people would stay after the game to grab a bite or just simply hang out?
-How many would take transit?
-How many live within walking distance (not to mention downtown hotel guests)?
-You would be looking at maybe 10,000 cars absolute max needing to vacate the area & that is a liberal guess IMHO.
Also, you can assume that people would use the parking garages at the Rose Quarter (easy freeway access) and then just walk or take street car across the Broadway Bridge. The 10,000ish cars will be spread out over such a large area downtown/pearl/rose quarter that multiple accesses from the site would be used.

You have egress problems when you place a signifigant volumes of cars with only one roadway outlet (i.e. 7,000 cars in one big parking lot with one access road and one freeway ramp) like at Clark County Ampitheatre during a big concert.
