Even the street level stuff has an early 2000's "we're just starting to try out opening shops and restaurants to the sidewalk" vibe to it.

I agree that from the outside, it is a bit mundane, and I was hoping for something with more wow factor - one thing about the Saddledome, it was an iconic design that suited the city perfectly, in its time.
However, what really matters is how it looks and functions inside, and so far it looks pretty good to me.
