Certainly. I just pointed it out because some people act like the Saddledome would collapse if they tried to fit some of the bigger concerts.
If they had installed a shorter scoreboard, like the ones in Montreal or Vancouver, the concert problem wouldn't be as big of a deal.
A cynical person could argue that the Flames chose to install such a tall scoreboard so that the number of concerts bypassing Calgary would increase, and along with it, support for a new building (and public funding for that building) would increase as well.
