Penguins Announce Deal For New Arena

Penguins Announce Deal For New Arena

 

Governor Ed Rendell, Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato and Mayor Luke Ravenstahl joined Pittsburgh Penguins co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle in announcing a deal for a new multi-purpose arena that will keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh for at least the next 30 years.

 

The $290 million arena will be built across the street from the current Mellon Arena, between Centre and Fifth Avenues.

 

“We are happy to finalize a deal that will keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh for the long term, and provide the citizens of Western Pennsylvania with a new, state-of-the-art multi-purpose arena,” Gov. Rendell said.

 

“We shared the same goal as the Penguins’ ownership – to keep the team here, playing in Pittsburgh, for at least the next 30 years,” said County Executive Onorato. “Our new, multi-purpose facility will host NHL hockey and also serve as an entertainment centerpiece and economic generator for our entire region.”
