When I was a kid they were talking about D1 hockey. Not a single person on the planet would have predicted the last 15 years.
Plus there were times after the dome was built they actually thought that the dome was too big because it wasnt selling out. Its always easy to go back after the fact and be critical. And you are correct that nobody could predict the last 15 years. But even with that the Dome isnt that far off from being perfect as far as seating goes and that is after what? 25 years?
