Weve come a long way when you consider it replaced the Corral.

Is it something with Calgary that we seem to demolish all the old arenas? Corral, gone, Saddledome, soon to be gone. Saddledome has the roof issue but Maple Leafs Gardens was redeveloped into a grocery store + recreation centre, and Pacific Colliseum in Vancouver is now home to the PWHL team.

I think Scotia Place has unique enough of a design to become an iconic part of the city skyline to people.

How many other cities have a flame LED around the exterior of their arena…

I love the saddledome and I’ve soaked in every moment I’ve been given in the building now that I work there, but it’s time has passed. Time to make the new arena as iconic as the old one.

^ Well said.

I still like the idea of an outdoor amphitheatre for concerts with a saddle shaped roof on the Saddledome site near the river.

I was scrolling through Facebook and saw this photo. I didn't take the picture, but I thought it was cool!

Cool, you can see the first steel beam in roof of the loading dock. If you could post the link to Facebook post it would be much appreciated.
