Yup. Currently, the only buildings older are the Coliseum in New York, Rexall in Edmonton, and Joe Louis in Detroit. All three are scheduled to be replaced over the next three seasons.
MSG is technically still older (opened in 1968), but they just spent $1 billion to completely rebuild the arena in recent years, so it's essentially a new building on the inside.
After the Saddledome (opened in 1983), the next oldest arenas are the Honda Center in Anaheim, and the SAP Center in San Jose, which both opened in 1993.
