Ok, this arena by far wasn't the best, but it holds much history and a ton of nostalgia. When it was new it was a sight to behold! Very few sports venues have a roof that opens, and the dome shape was consistent with the hockey theme. I'm sorry that I couldn't see the roof when it was able to be opened, but I bet it was impressive. I saw several concerts and NHL games take place here and will always cherish what time I was able to spend here, even if I felt like I'd easily fall forward while standing in the nosebleed section. I am sad to see her torn down, but I also think she needs to be laid to rest.
Civic/Mellon Arena, thanks for the memories!
