I just measured. It's pretty much the identical footprint as the Prudential Center in Newark.
Using the Google "measure distance" tool, the site is approximately 170x200m.
The main part of Rogers Place is 150x190m. The new arena in Detroit is about the same.
The Saddledome is one of the largest-capacity arenas in the league, so it doesn't really need a bigger space, it just needs to use the space better.
