- Once the new arena opens, bulldoze the Saddledome and use that land and some to the north for the new Stamps stadium. That is assuming they want to keep the Corral around.
Rough image, I used the same scale to grab McMahon Stadium:

I really hope what you predict ends up happening. The Stampede grounds is really the ideal location for the new arena IMO, and it would be in the best interest of both parties to work together. It's easily accessible by both c-train and car, and it's got ample room to create a nice entertainment district to tie it all in with the East Village.
