1. Stampede park is the only option in my mind. Anywhere else is just going back to mistakes made over the past decades in other cities (hi Ottawa fans!).
2. To answer "isn't the Saddledome good enough?" - sure, if you don't know any better. I've just had the chance to see an NHL game in 2 newer arenas (Anaheim and Tampa Bay) and all I can say is WOW. Their worst nosebleed seats are better than the Saddledome's upper 2nd level seats. Arena designs since about 1990 or so have made tremendous progress. I don't mind the nosebleeds at the 'Dome but again, wow - I'd kill for our nosebleeds to have such great visibility.
