Last Two Panels of Pittsburgh’s Civic Arena Come Down (Video/Pictures)


Pittsburgh, PA-(ENEWSPF)- Raw video from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette of the last two roof panels of the Civic Arena coming down. The former home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pitt basketball, circuses, concerts, and more, the iconic structure stood for more than five decades.

There were incredible moments in that stadium, including this from 1988 when Mario Lemieux scored five times, five ways (video below):

This undated photo gives a view of what it was like when the roof opened:
