Its not that the dome is too old or falling apart but rather the University wants the land the dome is located on for academic buildings.  Its been mentioned on this board plenty of times.  It really has nothing to do with the dome itself, but people in the know have said that there will be a new dome in the next 5-10 years on south campus.  It has also been speculated that their will be a retractable roof, which Gross basically confirmed in one of the articles.  A neat concept would be a basketball games early in the year with the roof open (just an idea).  But the greatest thing, I assume would be the improved basketball environment.  After 30 years of watching basketball be played in a dome, people can now develop better settings for basketball.  I can only anticipate the same massive crowds, but also better sight lines and somehow getting fans closer to the court.  Another great thing about this would be a major parking lot outside of the venue, where thousands of people could tailgate.  Currently space for tailgating is very difficult to find near the dome, and this would not be an issue on south campus.
