We can build a top class rink that is bigger than theirs.

It sucks largely because it is so big. It has nothing resembling that "sitting on top of the play feeling" and the lower bowl is far too big (something we are likely going to be stuck with for revenue reasons).
I love row 1 in the 200s in the Saddledome. They are the best seats in the league in my opinion. I know that dream is dead with the new building, but the Bell Centre is about as far from that as you can go, largely because of its massive size.

But I hope they build a world class arena/stadium & entertainment district that will be world class. Glendale is a perfect example of one.
A stadium that has a retractable roof is a major step to becoming "world class". Add in real grass to boot. Calgary gets enough sun.

I like the idea of Glendale, if you put it downtown and get something besides Bubba Gump Shrimp type places all over. I had a lot more fun at Nashville's arena, right on a street packed with non-master planned entertainment than I did in Glendale.
