The tent shows are rigged differently then the arena shows as the weight can be supported equally around the edges of the tent. Arena shows do not have this option and need to support their infrastructure from the ceiling/scoreboard. The Saddledome's ceiling/roof cannot support enough weight and the scoreboard is too low to allow for this.
I would assume the same thing occurs for a number of large tours with major stage shows.
(Note: none of these issues justify a new arena in my mind, just clarifying the limitations of the existing arena)
