The closest comparison to what you're talking about would be the Forum in Montreal, and that facility was replaced for all the reasons the Saddledome needs to be replaced.

Well, one of the original six's building remains, and it's the greatest closed-air venue in the world. In today's dollars tho, they've spent almost $2bn in renovations.
