It comes with a price for sure, so I get that, but finding tricks and nuances in an old building doesn't mean there are no gains from getting a better designed facility.

A game in the Staple Center means you don't wet your pants, you don't have to jog the concourse to get a beer and return in time to see the game, and don't feel like cattle at a slaughter house when the game is over.
However the new Edmonton arena in the cheap seats still has the cattle car affect when you leave and long bathroom and concession lines. I am faster getting concession and bathrooms in the Dome than I was at the new stadium so the difference between old and new is less than the difference between knowing the tricks vs non knowing. In my opinion the upgrade for the cheap seats is much less dramatic then people think.
