I would be willing to bet that STHs, as a group, are a lot more in favour of a new building than others are.
When you're asking people to pay a large chunk of coin to come and attend events, that building has to be up to date with respect to comfort, amenities, technology, etc. Having a building that is 'fine', which is basically code for not fine, just isn't good enough. It's an entertainment product that is for sale, it needs to be enticing.
As for trying to compare historic, ancient buildings with 30 year old concrete blocks (which are designed as disposable) is pretty hilarious - they aren't the same thing at all.
