If that's the future, is there any reason those things couldn't be added to the Saddledome? If the future is smaller capacity buildings with the people paying more for the privilege to be there, building a new "old" building would be a bad idea.
That's what happened with the Chicago White Sox, they built "New Comiskey" in the style of the big mega-stadiums of the time. Then, a year later, Baltimore opened their new stadium and suddenly everyone wanted a retro style ball park. New Comiskey was a year old and already out-of-date.
