But I get if it has to come down. I guess a lot of it depends on if the Stampede board thinks it's of any value to them?

I like how the old Montreal Forum was turned into an entertainment venue and the history of the rink was integrated in its design.
I don't think the same happens to the dome because it lacks the history of the forum. I would still be sad to see it demolished because it hosted the Olympics and is such an iconic design fixture in the city. If the Dome gets demolished, I think the Stampede Grounds because much less of a destination other than during Stampede.
