According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Penguins’ new home, the Consol Energy Center, is on pace to open on or before it’s Aug. 1, 2010 scheduled date.
In fact, the lead architects indicate that it could well open before that time, stating “they’re flying over there”.
Interestingly, they also state that there are no plans for a marquee, such as one that is located outside Mellon Arena across the street. However, there have been several hints during various press conferences that there will be a statue of Penguins’ Hall of Fame player, owner and team savior Mario Lemieux installed at the CEC.
To check out the progress of the arena, feel free to check out the Penguins’ webcam.
