I get the feeling it will be overly catered to commercial interests as opposed to the fan experience, and some of the energy of the Dome will be lost. That plus more expensive tickets and beer does not lend itself to a fun atmosphere...
Hope I'm wrong, but these sort of projects in Calgary tend to chase the short term dollar signs instead of seeing the bigger picture.

Trust me on this when I say... modern sports venue architecture is completely designed around the fan experience in this day and age, because the bottom line is that a happy fan experience keeps them coming back. It is literally the most important design philosophy for architects and clients in this game.
