After realizing the KeyArena renovation will likely make it so basketball will stay, yet still doesnt accommodate NHL or hockey, I have been trying to figure out whether another arena in the region would be workable. After all, Everett and Kent have or are building new arenas in the Puget Sound region and are taking a good number of events. With concerts going elsewhere and no more sports team in Tacoma, what is left for the Dome to host that keeps it viable? It is no secret that the Tacoma Dome has been searching for a future and would like to spiff things up. This is where my idea just came in.
Tear down the Tacoma Dome and build a new facility. You already have all the land. You shouldnt have many contracts that should become a problem. A new facility could possibly bring in an NHL franchise, an AFL team, plus bring a lot of the events that currently come to the Dome and those that currently go to the KeyArena because it has more amenities than the Tacoma Dome has. It could also bring back concerts that are looking to leave, and also host the big concerts that want a state of the art facility that can pack 20,000 easily.
Of course, it only comes down to financing...

Here is a link to the Pepsi Center. I dont know if something like this would work in the area, just throwing some ideas out there to gauge some interest.
