Basically, the bottom line is that the club has to compete financially.
The Red Sox have so far kept Fenway Park and done a fabulous job renovating it, but that comes at the expense of charging astronomical ticket prices and alienating a large segment of the population who simply can't afford to go to the game. Even with all the renovations, they will probably need to eventually move to a new park anyway.
I think it should also be noted that in places where new stadiums were built, the tradition did not collapse as new ones developed.
I think that British teams now are sort of like baseball teams in the 60s and 70s, ditching smaller parks for massive cookie cutter stadiums in an attempt to maximize profit. I think that eventually, like baseball did in the 90s, they will build "retro" stadiums that have a happy medium of traditional atmosphere with modern comfort and convenience.
