I don’t know if the Dome is a fantastic experience or not. That’s subjective. But people do take it for granted. It’s fantastic to me, but I’m also not 60 and needing to piss every 30 minutes. I’ve been to some old and some new and there is definitely something special about older spots with some history.

No, it’s not Fenway. It’s also not Roger’s Place. It’s the Saddledome and it’s the only one there is. Maybe it carries the same design as a few other places around the world, but that’s not what makes it unique.

Everything will probably be recreated in the new barn. Maybe. In 20-30 years. If we’re lucky.
There were some great moments that I will fondly remember, no doubt. I am old enough to remember games in the Corral, which was awesome, because the top row was something like row 17. I certainly don’t pine over that facility or wish they played there. I think it will be similar to the dome. Good times, but good times will be replicated in the new place, I am sure. One good playoff run and I would expect people to move on rather quickly.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
