I'd much rather them wait a couple years and see where things go and try to get ahead of everything. We're heading into an exciting time and we're about to get the opposite of exciting after waiting 30+ years.

I’m not sure how big of a leap any innovation in this space really is, outside of something like Sphere (which is a totally different application).
At the end of the day an arena is an arena. I don’t know if you’ve been to some of the newer ones but they’re ultimately the same experience just elevated and I expect that to continue for the foreseeable future.
It’s like getting a new phone. Yeah, every year there’s new features and reasons to upgrade. So, why not just wait in perpetuity? Or take the plunge and look back in 5 years only to realize yours is still pretty much on par.
The Saddledome still holds its own from an experience standpoint. It’s not fancy, but who says it has to be?
