They knew it was going to be the smallest in the league when they sunk 2/3 of a billion dollars into it 22 years ago.

Lots of stadiums are old and are perfectly fine homes for their teams. You need to look no further than 3.5 hours north for a great example. A bunch of other teams have stadiums older than 22 years with no issues or only plans to renovate what they have (Miami, KC, etc)
