The arena underwent a $37-million make over in 1995 which added 46 suites and 1,440 premium seats in the President's Club. The Flames have hired consultants to price out both options and determine if a Saddledome retrofit would be able to accommodate the changes needed to boost the building's revenue streams.
The building was opened in 1983 and the NHL team has played in the venue since 1988 when it was used for the Winter Olympic games. The Flames have been managing the building since 1994 when it paid CAN$20 million to buy its lease.
There are 46 suites in the lower bowl that lease for $135,000 and 26 suites higher that lease for $45,000 to $95,000. The lower suites are on 4, 7 and 10 year terms while those on the upper terrace are on 3 and 5 year terms. Two super suites seat 36 and are leased on a game-day basis for $5,000, including food and beverage. There are also 95 restaurant seats, which cost CAN$50 per game. Club seating requires a payment of CAN$300 per year for 5 years up front. The venue offers concierge service and a sports bar. (Facilities, Ice Hockey, Professional Sports, Venue)
