One team though seems to be in desperate need of a new home and that team is the Calgary Flames. According to a new report that was released, the Saddledome may be near the end of its time.
According to a report by an Engineering firm Entuitive, the roof of the saddledome is beginning to collapse.
The damage is being caused by constant freezing and thawing and now requires the arena to be inspected by professionals atleast twice a year.
The firm sent a letter to the Calgary Flames owner which stated:
It looks like pieces are ready to fall:
Been at the Saddledome lately and noticed that protective netting on the outside ring of the roof? That's to prevent chunks of concrete from falling. (Not a structural issue, but also not ideal.) https://t.co/tADGPmCcSA� Ryan Pike (@RyanNPike) September 14, 2022
