Doubtful. The upkeep costs alone are quite large. Saddledome will be torn down, lets not kid ourselves. They can talk about keeping it but that is just to keep everyone from freaking out for nostalgia purposes. Off the top of my head, i cannot think of many arenas in other cities that have been repurposed. Why would the Saddledome be a good convention centre venue?
