The saddledome was barely 20 years old and they already started talking about replacing it.
I just hope they build a Spectacular Arena that will last 100 years and become a cultural icon like Maple Leaf Gardens or the Montreal Forum (RIP).

It's all about the changing economics (and demographics) of the sports business. You can't build an arena for 20,000 middle-class fans anymore. It's all about the luxury boxes and the high-end food and drink.
The way things are trending, the arena that would replace the planned arena in 25 years will be built to accommodate 1,000 clients who will each have their own wet room, fully-wired smart system, sommelier, and itamae of sushi.
