I did not realize that they tore this stadium down. I thought they were keeping it and marking it as an historic site?

^ Their keeping some of it as a historic site. The section behind where home plate used to be is going to stay, the rest came down sadly enough.

I still think Pittsburgh could have kept 3 Rivers Stadium as the permanent home for the Steelers while building PNC Park for the Pirates. I know a lot of people are going to be sad when Mellon Arena goes away.

 

Get pictures while you still can. Pens do deserve a new arena though...

I hate when those buzz all around your face and get in your hair.

I came across this thread while doing research before starting another thread.

 

Fun fact about old Tiger Stadium...

 

When it was built, they forgot to build an Umpire's Locker room and the Umpires use to have to get dressed and undressed in the Tiger's Lockroom.
