I've been to some new arenas too, the Dallas Stars arena is nice. I don't know what the best plan is here but I am fairly certain the proposal is terrible.

They can be torn down, it just doesn't happen often. I believe Turner field (Atlanta Braves) will be the first one in a long time to be torn down. If i remember correctly, the only other recent venues (i.e. opening or closing ceremony venues) to be torn down were London and that was because they were bombed.
Interesting enough, Turner field is only 22 years old! and is already downtown, but moving to Cobb County, over 20 miles from Downtown.
