PITTSBURGH | New Multi Purpose Arena | U/C
Let's see here I was asked to start a thread about this and couldn't find one already on here so why not. I will be taking pictures of the construction a few times a week. Everyone is welcome to contribute.

Will this arena be the new home for the Pittsburgh Penguins?

Good thinkin!
I was going to work on some of the lighting design for this project through a contract with Asterino, but I bailed that company that I could have done this work with and went somewhere else. It would have been fun, especially since the work would have been all overtime work added to my regular pay. |

looks awesome dude, you should post a link to this in the Pittsburgh Rundown page. Looking forward to the pics as much as possible since im not living too close to there now.

Crews have been working past 11 pm this week.

Rockin! I'm still referring to it as The Igloo:D

Do you have pictures of the site before demolition of the existing buildings, particularly anything historic or significant (unlike St. Francis haha). I know the church rectory, school, etc. were demolished. Why is it that the original plans for this site included saving the building next to the church, which is gone now?

check google maps... the picture that is there will show you the white building that was there...

It is very interesting to watch the grading of the site. It is especially interesting to see the "steps" being embedded into the soil. I am so curious as to how that is done.
It can all be seen on the 24 hour webcam: http://penguins.nhl.com/ext/html/webcam4.html |

that first shot is awesome... I love the density and diversity of structures in the background!
|
Thanks Evergrey, though I must admit I was simply taking a picture of the arena site. I suppose the city of Pittsburgh buildings did the rest!

These 2 shots are from the same exact spot. The first is just a zoom in of the second.

Also, this shot is a perfect comparison of old and new. Notice how the older urban area on the left is rich and interesting, while the newer landscape on the right is bland and sterile. Just an observation. |
