The Saddledome is buried in Stampede Park, is isolated and isolating to its surroundings. It invites no interaction with the building or facilitates any ancillary use of associated outside public space, nor commercial space. There is a reason why it has not generated activity and other arenas have - it was not designed to. I have little doubt what’s planned will be successful in this regard, because it is designed intentionally to do those things.
