even then a lot of the time the requirements are way too generous and we end up with acres of parking near stadiums that could be housing.
in the uk and eu people put stadiums near well built homes all the time.
It isn't a big deal.
But the big thing is with parking requirements the builders and owners can't pick less parking, they have to build to build a home or whatever.
It should be by choice, not forced.

Yeah IIRC there’s actually a new movement to create “walkable” stadium areas in the US because of the additional revenue generated for restaurants and bars in the area (sometimes owned by the same owner as the team). I think Detroit did that recently with most of their professional sports, not sure if it’s caught on elsewhere though
