No it isn't, which makes me question some of the decision making.

There's so much wrong with the Dome itself that I'm not sure keeping it was the wisest decision.  There is exactly one full-time combination football/basketball arena in the world, which makes it probably something that should have never been birthed to begin with.  This thing is the ugly step child of sporting arenas/stadiums.  [B]It is iconic[/B], but it's not great for football and wasn't designed for basketball.  They're trying to do what they can without spending a lot of money [I]and [/I]do it quickly to not impact sports.  So this the best that they're going to come up with.  The money being spent is on the design and trying to shoehorn it all together.  Something has to get the short stick.  And, right now, it appears that it will be the fans/amenities.

I think maybe an outdoor stadium for football in the Dome's footprint and a Skytop arena for basketball would probably have been the best plan, definitely more expensive upfront, but would tick a lot more boxes. But in the end, I'm just a fan and not on the BOT.  So ... I hope it all works out for the best.
