Seems like Ottawa might be the perfect fit to implement this concept. This could create more mid-income seating that could fit well in our government town market to compensate for the lack of interest in luxury boxes.
The arena design accounts for between 16,500 and 19,000 seats.
The Inverted Bowl by Rossetti SM

The website claims an 18% smaller building footprint and patrons will be 50% closer to the event. It also claims that it uses 22% less steel tonnage which contributes to 15% lower construction costs.
And here's a quote that speaks to the LeBreton Flats situation:
URBAN CONTEXT
Unlike most arenas, The Inverted Bowl is meant to seamlessly integrate into urban environments. It can fit within city block units as a result of the smaller footprint and perimeters will allow for programmed spaces. Public funding for venues is rapidly declining, and that trend will continue for the foreseeable future. They must be smaller and faster to construct with lower construction and materials investment required.
