I can envision the Saddledome decommissioned and demo'd, which is my educated guess for what will happen. There were ideas bandied about submitted several years ago about turning it into conference space through a large renovation, but with the new convention centre on the near horizon combined with a new event centre, I don't see what purpose it would serve in the long-term going forward.
The Corral will be demo'd for the new convention centre (as well as the south facing side of the BMO Centre to adust for the 17th Avenue expansion), and as such, that +15 bridge to the Saddledome is coming down, disconnecting it from the convention space.
Change is coming, and I love it.
