Knowing that you would never be able to get that low with balcony seating again would be like a death watch come the last season in the dome.
Anyone that thinks Edmonton's new rink is better has most likely never been there, cares more about the look of the concourse, or is an oiler fan.
Yes the dome could use more washrooms but I've never seen anyone pee their pants in 35 years of going to games there (yet I feel like some people pee their's complaining about it).
To top it off ticket prices will jump substantially for pretty much everyone. Dome know what you've got till it's gone...

My tickets are right behind the TV cameras in the first balcony and a few posters have sat in them as well. So true. Hopefully we will be able to get good seats (and afford them) in the new arena as I do think the facility is important for the growth and economy of the City.
