I'm not saying the Flames shouldn't get a new arena (I get the whole bit about more box seats, more lower bowl seating, etc) but...

Is it possibly people had a different experience because they were in nicer seats and had access to a different concourse? Kind of like in the Saddledome, you can have that different experience in the Avison Young section (or whatever they call it now)?
Agree with JD here. I go to the Shark Tank more then the Dome these days, and while it is nicer, I honestly can't say that - as a fan (maybe not a player/Iginla) it didn't change my world or open my eyes and all that stuff. It was nicer, for sure..... but maybe other people might be more influenced by the colour of their seats or a hardwood floor trimming to arm rest for their hockey seats than me.

Bathrooms are better though
