That said with it next to the Saddledome are they going to tear it down and use that space for a year round entertainment district?

It depends on what happens with the Olympic bid, I'd guess.
If we get the Olympics, we'll need two large arenas (one for hockey, one for figure skating/short track), so the Saddledome would need to survive until at least 2026.
Long term, I can't see both buildings being maintained. The Stampede could use an outdoor amphitheater to replace the Coke Stage, and that would be a perfect location for that.
