The Saddledome is a huge piece of crap, with chunks of concrete falling off it.
A baseball stadium is a lot easier to upgrade. Generally, the design is far more open to begin with, that includes the concourse. Fenway has a large areas of the concourse that are multi-floored and just open girders. So you can swap out and upgrade the seats, dressing rooms, boxes, restaurants, etc.. a lot easier.
The Saddledome is a closed off concrete structure that's falling apart.
