The Saddledome cannot recieve a new roof for any remotely reasonable amount of money.
As opposed to McMahon, where lots of the structure could likely be saved in a rebuild of the stadium, there’s no saving structure and doing a proper renovation with the Saddledome.
A new roof would be a significantly heavier structure than the existing, and there’s no vertical columns underneath the edge of the current roof, i.e. where a new roof would have to be built on. It’s not impossible, but building from scratch would likely cost more, and have a significant number of compromises that wouldn’t be necessary if you just built from scratch.
