Yes so do I. As a tourist. But you wouldn't live in a house that's 200 years old. Sports teams dont have Stadiums that are 100 years old.
It's impossible to keep up the maintenance and repair. Costs a fortune to bring everything up to current day standards.

People live and work in buildings right here in Canada that are several hundred years old (I know some). I have personally lived in buildings here that are over one hundred years old, in neighbourhoods of the same age; they’re the best homes I’ve ever had. They’re still there. People would be apoplectic if we started demolishing them. There are literally medieval-era buildings in other western democracies that are still in use with all the fixings- internet and everything. Arenas are one thing but other buildings? Come on.
