That's pretty sad, because it only opened 47 years ago. Sounds like it had some major flaws and wasn't necessarily deterioration due to age if it was falling apart when it was still practically a new stadium. It would make sense to spend money to keep it going at that point.
With the Dome, it could easily just be a money pit to try and prevent it from deteriorating further. The costs would probably require raising ticket prices anyway.
