I can't wait either. I am glad the Mellon is closing but I will still miss it just like I miss Three Rivers Stadium.

Lol, I was going to ask you if you thought the Pens really needed a new arena? I didn't think Mellon had been around all that long. Didn't it open in the 70s or 80s?

Mellon Arena is actually the oldest arena in the NHL. it opened on Sept 19, 1961. it needs to go but I will miss it.

the new arena looks kool but i honestly like the igloo better. the shape kinda shows character to the city and team. just how here in calgary the saddledome is shaped like...well...a saddle to represent western culture here.

just my thought....

Wow that is sweet. You guys in Pittsburgh are very, very lucky. Multiple Superstar players, an amazing team on the verge of a dynasty, a new arena!! What more can you ask for? These Pens really are the new-age Edmonton Oilers, IMO!! I can't wait till Calgary gets a new arena, maybe in 5 years or so.

Awesome pics Dave, thanks for sharing, I didn't see that one yet.

For those of you asking about Mellon Arena, if you have been in there in the past 4-5 years, you know why a new arena is needed. The arena is so outdated it is quite ridiculous. Many concerts don't even think about coming to Mellon Arena because the sound system is horrible.

Even though the "Civic" Arena reminds me of when I was younger going to see players like Lemieux, Robbie Brown, Zarly Zalapski, it's time to get a new arena. With the Steelers and Pirates getting new stadiums, it was only fair for the Penguins to get a new one too.

Always thought it looked like a cool arena from all the preview pics and all.

I think I'm going to have to get tickets to that game. With it being fan appreciation night and the last regular season home game in the Mellon, it should be a fun night.
