This is peak managerial design.
"We want to make it a green parking lot so we're going to add a row of trees around a bunch of smaller lots, ultimately making the footprint three times as large."
It's almost impressive they managed to come up with a design worse than an asphalt ocean.
These parking lots are a good idea, of they were 1/10th the size and located around metro stops away from the stadium.
This is what happens when you want to brag about your green design but don't actually give a shit about sustainability.
Pouring a bunch of asphalt in a massive rectangle would reduce the overall footprint by like 60%.
This was somebody who thought "green infrastructure" meant randomly placing trees and spreading out parking spaces.
