I would vote in favour of enhanced upkeep of the existing arena.

A 10,000 seat arena is just not the right size for Hamilton:

- It would still bring in a number of shows, but it would also certainly take Hamilton out of consideration for many, many large-scale events.
- It would also be arguably too large for an OHL team or even an AHL team, so it would hardly be a right-sizing for those groups.

A 5k to 6k arena is probably the proper size for the OHL, but I really hope that that sized building is not on the table.

A side note is that the current video scoreboard should be replaced regardless. It is of extremely poor quality/resolution and I am not sure if any other OHL arenas (much less NHL) have anything so lacking.
