Borden Station is a 750 walk from the Aud, which is further than the <500m desired for walkability. But this is still within a distance that is acceptable for an events space. It's much easier to walk 12 minutes than trudge around looking for parking or waiting to leave the parking lot. A stop on Ottawa at Eugene George Way is still around 220m away from the nearest Aud Entrance.
Comparing Rogers Centre in Toronto both of the nearest subway stations are a 950m walk away. Albeit you are walking during the summer or inside the path so the distance and time isn't as uncomfortable.
I'd say in general the current Aud Site is fine for events. OHL doesn't really have much of a big pregame/tailgating culture where the fans go and drink heavily before and after the games as some other sports do.
