This is exactly what I feel should be done with the property. There's SO much potential space here that's being wasted as parking lots. Put a parking garage in the Ottawa/highway corner (currently occupied by a baseball diamond), as you can expect lots of cars to come off the highway. Get rid of most of the roads leading through the Aug land and redevelop to add basketball and tennis courts, parkspace, a bigger skatepark, etc. Add some underground parking coming off Stirling so that not all parking is getting shunted to Ottawa/East, and then put the baseball diamond on top. And most critically, add a strip of restaurants along Eugene Way, right next to the Aud and right off of Ottawa, so that people have a place to eat before/after visiting the Aud. This would also help minimize the rate of traffic coming into the property right before a game, because some people will arrive an hour earlier in order to eat and relax.

Please see this extremely terrible overlay I have put on a Google Maps image, to better illustrate my ideas haha
