I'm happy for them to build a stadium because I would use it but it makes zero sense to do so. An arena makes sense because its used not just for hockey but concerts, popular talks, monster trucks, I suspect the occupancy rate for the dome in a given year is over 50%.

A state of the art stadium would get used at most 15 times (unless they put a roof on it and use it for convention space, but then it would need to be downtown).
