Parking is an issue in either vancouver location.
1. Surrey is a piss poor idea. There are little to no options for rapid transit.
2. Any JV between the Lions and the Caps means the Caps lose out on Atmosphere and you the spectator being anywhere close to the pitch.

And on Parking...

I can't remember the exact figure, but I thought I'd read that there was something like 10-15k parking spots within a 5 minute walk from the proposed waterfront stadium location, and will be next door to the transit hub (Seabus, Skytrain, Canadline, Westcoast express)
