That's the double edged sword with new arenas. They are built to maximize revenue, which will inevitably price out a lot of people. Chances are people will go to fewer games, but have it be more of an "experience" when they do.

The current dome is too big and it's a massive waste for people to buy press levels (above rows 1-3). It's way better to watch at home than have the sloping ceiling cover half your view all the time.
I hope that they build a smaller arena that sells out every time - it's louder and a better TV product. It'll suck that the price will increases but I think if the crowd is better it will translate into a better TV product and hopefully they can make up revenue in better ratings to offset less seats. It's better to go to one or two games a year with a better experience than 10 press level games in my opinion.
Also, with the inverted bowl design maybe they do less seating but sell more standing room when they really want to pack the place.
