Several years ago, there was a study done on the Saddledome to see how much it would cost to renovate and update. Unsurprisingly, the study determined it would be more cost-efficient to just build a new building. There was also a study done to see what could be done with the Saddledome's life post-hockey - maybe a conference space, or converting it to something like Maple Leaf Gardens was converted too, among other ideas; and even then, it was determined to be incredibly cost-prohibitive to do anything worthwhile with it. The Saddledome really is at the end of its useful life.
