What exactly is wrong with the dome that justifies $400 million? I don't get it. I can't believe I'm the only one...

The Corral was about 30 years old when the Saddledome was built. The Victoria Arena had been used as Calgary's main arena for about 30 years when the Corral was built. I don't believe Calgary really had anything before the Victoria Arena.
