Always seemed like a no brainer to just take over some of the existing lot space and then return the Dome's footprint to parking to offset that lost.
Why was I under the assumption that an Olympic built building cannot be torn down? Has anyone ever heard that? I would hate to see the dome get torn down as its a distinguishing feature to the Calgary skyline.

Also after attending a Winnipeg Jets game recently all I can say is the Dome is 100x better than that arena! Seats are tiny, venue is tiny. Made me really appreciate the dome. I've been to some new arenas too, the Dallas Stars arena is nice. I don't know what the best plan is here but I am fairly certain the proposal is terrible.
