Even if you throw in a couple of bucks for gas, a few cents for tire wear, miscellaneous wear and tear, etc. etc. the difference is pretty nominal if there's two of you. If you're on your own, definitely more cost effective. Three of you or more? Driving looks pretty appealing, especially if using the train would require driving to a park n' ride anyway.

I realize that there are all sorts of other variables on both sides of the equation (waiting to get out of Victoria Park, waiting on the platform for a train, etc.), but at the end of the day the average user is going to look at how much time each option will take, and how much it is going to cost.
Or you could park at one of the lots west of the dome in the 17th Macleod area... Pay $10, walk straight out, get in and drive straight away. I've never understood why anyone would park on the grounds (or even in the Saddledome parkade VIP crap) when the wait to get out is so horrendous.
