By the time the new arena is open, they'll know whether or not they're going to bid on the 2026 games. If a bid is planned, the Saddledome would most likely be used as the Figure Skating/Short Track venue, and would be saved from the wrecking ball at least temporarily.

There will very likely be a practice facility like they have in Columbus and are building as part of the arena in Edmonton. Like those facilities, it will likely be made available for public use when it's not being used by the teams.
