It's also the best way to future-proof it. As long as they don't do something foolish like build load-bearing elements into the bowl itself, the interior space can be reconfigured to any extent and the outer shell will remain usable.
With proper engineering, this building should still be usable 100 years from now, with the interior turned into a zero-g drone derby pit or whatever it is that people will be doing for amusement in large crowds by then. Or maybe it will just become a supermarket like Maple Leaf Gardens. You couldn't do that with the Saddledome.
