I'm assuming that you're proposing a domed stadium that could double as conference space, in which case the venue would get more use but it would also be much more expensive. If private developers think they can make a go of it more power to them, but my point continues to be that there is absolutely no need to replace McMahon, the criticisms could easily be addressed by renovations.
