City typically has an easement on your parking strip

If you have a sidewalk in SLC, for example, the city owns an easement from the road, over the grass, and to the sidewalk. If you wanted to plant a tree on the parking strip grass, you'd have to get a permit from the city. Crazy, but that's not uncommon. There is usually something equivalent up to 10 feet from the road when you don't have a sidewalk.

Correct; at least I think so.

Feel free to check Zillow and see how "valuable" that property is

I can see that. I think it would be really hard to have a house there

if they really bought before stadium was an issue that means they bought when
