The building is showing it's age in several respects, but still it is a nice facility. I think from the standpoint of revenue generation and being able to host a wider variety of events, a new arena is certainly needed. Having said that, for hockey games there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Saddledome from my perspective. I've watched hockey in Philly, New York, Vancouver, New Jersey and maybe one more and my only real complaint is the crowd itself, way way too quiet and passive most nights.
Oh yea the other rink I've seen NHL hockey in is Edmonton, almost blighted that from my mind.
