rev:text	Mellon Arena is the oldest arena in the NHL, and it shows - only it's not a bad thing that it shows. I've been a lifelong Penguins fan, and finally made my first trip here last weekend for the Penguins home opener. I knew it was an old arena, and an arena that will be replaced in a few years when the next chapter in the life of the Penguins is built; and I was a little nervous that my trip here would be an anticlimax, being the home of all my hockey memories, but an old one. But you know, this is an old arena with character - so much character in fact, that I had goose-bumps the second I saw the rink. I understand that Pittsburgh needs a new arena, but there was something that made me quite sad that such a cool place has to disappear to make way for it. The style of the seating levels seems very unique compared to any other arena I've seen - very steep, layered levels at each end, with a huge steep block along the sides. The second level at each end has an over-hang of the next level up, which blocks out the scoreboard in the higher part of the section - so they have individual mini-scoreboards in the section, with the score, penalty details, and a screen showing the same as the scoreboard screen - so cool! The concourses are a little narrow and show their age, but there are sections that become very wide, and they sensibly put a couple of beer stands here to prevent too much congestion. Plenty of merchandise stands too, as well as a well-stocked, if eternally crowded shop. The fans are great (OK, I'll admit that I might be a little biased here, but the atmosphere was electric), the staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly, and it all added up to the perfect visit to my mecca of hockey. A rink full of history, Mellon Arena represents the good 'old' days of hockey, and represents those days with style and grace - thanks for the good times, the memories, and here's hoping for a few more before it is sadly put to rest.
