It's best for the City, the Stampede and all involved parties to decommission and demolish this structure once the new arena is complete.

Can you explain to a laymen how a building that encloses 19000 people doesn't meet current fire code ratings but is allowed to enclose 19000 people over a hundred times a year?
How does that annoucment go? "Okay, so we finished our inspection and you don't pass....buuuut because it would be bad if three professional sports teams had nowhere to play, you can just not worry about not passing. Just make sure no fires!!!".
