  • The Civic Arena, fondly known as the "Igloo" for its unique domed roof, stood as a Pittsburgh icon from its opening in 1961 until its closure in 2010. Originally designed for the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, the arena became the home of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1967, witnessing the team's triumphs, including back-to-back Stanley Cup victories in the early 1990s. Despite its innovative retractable roof and historic moments, the arena faced challenges with aging infrastructure and was eventually replaced by the modern PPG Paints Arena in 2010. The closure marked the end of the Igloo era, and in 2012, the iconic dome was imploded, concluding a significant chapter in Pittsburgh's sports and entertainment history. The Civic Arena's legacy lives on in the memories of those who experienced its unique charm and celebrated the city's sporting achievements within its distinctive walls.
