I hate where the Saddledome sits. Surrounded by rubbish casinos and buildings that should be condemned. I just want to see something new - not just an updated standalone arena with no hope of creating a fun environment.

The East Village is only a few blocks North and will be built out substantially. The entire area is being redeveloped. The new site will hopefully be able to pull some of that vitality south. As is, the Guardian (kitty-corner), has some pretty high-end tenants in its podium, including a higher-end bar.
