The original plan called for a parking structure attached to the stadium which the city would pay for. However somewhere along the way the "structure" became shops and restaurants which the city then decided not to pay for. So the team created a new parking plan but their plan was "use the street". The folks that live on the streets complained so the city has banned parking (sort of) on the streets during games and now the team is pointing the finger at the city saying they are keeping everyone from parking.
So at this point many of the families (like my own) that like to load up the mini-van and drive to a game have refrained from purchasing season tickets like we did at the old stadium. So season ticket sales for the new stadium have tanked and the team is scratching their heads wondering why sales are down.
