The opportunity cost of keeping the coral in the long-term is too high. There is extremely limited architectural merit there IMHO, and the history is limited. Lots of things are "nice to do" items, but to make a decision, one really has to consider opportunity cost. There are many way better things that can be done with that footprint.
Regarding the Saddledome, I'm more conflicted about it.
