I get it- the new arenas are way nicer. I just got back from Vegas and had a blast at the game. However we still had to wait in line for beer during the intermission; to the point where we didn't have time to hit the souvenir shop. What made the Vegas experience great was the sound and light shows. Both of those could be done at the Saddledome, but at the Dome there is a need to dampen things for the corporate crowd. A new Calgary arena tailored for the corporate crowd would still be not as flashy of a gametime show.

I am fine with the Dome. My two biggest complaints with Flames games these days are that the music/production is not really adding to the intensity of the games, and the crowd is very quiet on a lot of nights. It would be great if our building was intense to play in. I don't think a new arena solves that.
