Skydome had its pluses. A wonder of the world when it opened, with wide concourses, nice downtown location, and most importantly for many people, the weather was never a factor. And Skydome occasionally saw big crowds, including a whopping 40,116 at one regular season game in October 2007. Whether they were papering the house or not, it got larger crowds than BMO does now and it could be pretty darn loud.
I do like BMO better, overall, and attendance is trending up. But we've been pretty lucky with the weather there.
