Description: Tells the story of Pittsburgh's Civic Arena, beginning with the city's plan to build "an architectural marvel" that featured the world's first and largest retractable dome roof. "It hosted everything from Penguins to the Ice Capades, circuses to wrestling matches and monster truck jams, along with the world's most famous entertainers. Many Pittsburghers will remember it as Mellon Arena, the name adopted in 1999 and put aside on August 1, 2010."
