Would it be different if you were choosing a venue for your special event, say a wedding? 30+ year old venue or less then 5 years old venue? We usually go for the new shiny thing, don't we?
I'd argue it's less about a stadium and more about the fan base. why not reward a fan base whose stuck with a team? lets be honest, 95% of the fans experiencing the all-star game is done so via television, their experience won't be affected one way or the other by the stadium. the other 5% will enjoy it regardless, especially in one of the strongest markets in the NHL.
