There were TWO movies filmed that featured the roof opening. "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" was a movie about a basketball team in Pittsburgh where at one point, the team flies into the Civic Arena in a hot air balloon. What others said about sections E&F were all true, and were steep as all get out. The stadium used to also house some conventions/expos in areas under the stands before the convention center was built. So many memories of games, concerts, and even Sesame Street on ice that I went to as a kid/adult.

2:07 Flicking us off....Nice hidden move.

Aaaaaand now they're in Utah. Sucks they couldn't get their situation figured out but it was absolutely for the better.

Best video I've seen all day. You, my friend, have gained a subscriber.

I grew up watching Kings hockey from here. The bowl seating made the sight line from the upper deck feel very very far away, but this is where we sat almost every game. The one cool effect this type of seating provided was when the home team scored a goal, the effect of watching the entire crowd in front of you rise at the same time was indescribable, and an effect completely lost when I started watching games from the multi-tiered Staples Center.

Clearly the pucks used in the OHL are a LOT cheaper and less fancy, considering how they won't change them during stoppages of play, the ref will pick up the puck off the ice and reuse it for the next faceoff

All Of The Fans Save Their Money For Bandits Games Which Are Much Better And The Sabres Just Suck

This video could've been half the length

Is that a Paul Kariya Jersey?? 🫶

all that tech an still no sensor to tell if puck crosses the goal line lmao so whats the point then ?

I’m a Flames fan but I hate the thought of any of these old barns getting torn down. Sad knowing the Saddledome’s days are numbered too.

Explains all the wild bounces nowadays

I was in NYC from Seattle on business last February. Luckily the Kraken were playing the Devils and -as a single ticket purchase-i was able to nab a second row "Zamboni Seat" for $180 (which was All inclusive). That narrow row single seat next to the Zamboni doors was Incredible! With the Hyundai Club right at the top of the Stairs. As someone who NEVER spends that much on a Sporting Event (at Yankee Stadium i buy the "Standing" seat and try to sit in the last row of top level looking straight down left field line from home plate) i would gladly pay for that "Zamboni Row" Single seat again. Great Experience

I saw my first concert their in 84' The Cars, with Wang Chung opening. I also saw Ratt and Billy Squier there.

I know they're putting up new banners there now

Actually at the very beginning it was here in Montreal and they used horse shit...actual frozen horse shit.

The kid in me was going crazy. Love it!

The NLL Team Minnesota Swarm Started in 2005 & Moving to Georgia in 2015 🐝🐝🥍🥍

Nice

This is so cool, big fan of the Jurassic Park franchise so really cool to see this incorporated into hockey

Can you please do a retro rink episode on the Nassau veterans memorial coliseum home of the New York Islanders from 1972-2015 and 2018-2021

Considering how much a puck keeps getting thrashed during a game, I'm pretty sure they did what they can to make the electronic innards as close to impact/shock-proof as they can and hardened them as a single unit. Some military hardware are built like that so that it can survive just about ANYTHING.

I did not expect it to be that big. I thought it would just be a tiny chip. Cool video.

Great memories of that building.

Never got to a game there but I seen the Globetrotters there. Loved it

Can you still buy them and if so where do you buy them?

The stands have been filled for a few short years now as the team and front office have gotten much better. There were no people at the rink because the team had done so bad for so long. People in Soflo have so many fun things to do going to see a terrible team might be fun for someone in boring Minnesota to go to another awful wild game but not in Soflo. Also, I don’t get why sports fans think it’s a good idea to continue to support your teams after years of not changing. Once a team changes and actually does well they should be rewarded with sales. Why should the panthers have success if they aren’t successful on the ice. Again Floridians have much more to do than see a failing hockey team which is completely justifiable and if anything more people should stop supporting teams that take their money and don’t change like the leafs

I was there in July, 1993 for its public debut. As a STH, I wanted to check out my seats. And you’re right about the press box. This season TV is back at the first row of the upper level.

@Rink Around The League I’ve Seen Some Flyers Games in Person and It’s So Fun To Watch in Person Also The Banners The Flyers of The Retired Numbers is Fantastic!

Where did you get the paint

NFL needs to put something in the balls to fix bad spotting by the refs on every single play.

"Hyperbolic paraboloid" *chomp*

Quebec would make the most sense. They already have a newish arena: Videotron Centre.

I drive an Olympia actually the same model as the one that caught on fire in Rochester (last video) and I had a hydraulic leak one time. My augers stopped so I raised the conditioner and put them in reverse to clear it out and see if they were frozen or not but once I did it all started shooting out of the back of the conditioner like crazy. I instantly brought the machine off and shut down. Needless to say it was hand cuts until we could get the mechanic in

The only thing I have to complain about the stadium is it’s location. Every time I leave a game I’m berated by homeless people begging for money and it ends up killing the mood.

4:26 that video clip is so legendary 😂😂 pilote out here doing the lords work

Fin fact, in order to build the new intuit dome just a few blocks away, Steve Ballmer BOUGHT THE ENTIRE ARENA because the old owners were blocking the construction of the new arena

Im a Pens fan. While the Civic Arena was a massive dump for many reasons, leaking roof, very odd seating configuration, seats with obstructed views, and very small concourses, it was a very very cool building. While I much prefer PPG Paints Arena, i do miss the Igloo

The background music is way too loud

I went to my first rock concert at the Civic Arena. We saw Chicago and it was near July 4. When they sang “Saturday, in the park. Think it was the Fourth of July”, they had opened the roof and they had a fireworks show. That was an amazing experience.

Great video!

I hope you do well!

Cool video man. Could you turn down the music or not add it. Thanks

Section E, the balconies at the end of the ice, were my favorite seats I've ever sat at for any sporting event. The balcony was so far out over the lower level it felt like you could spit on the goalie's head and you were high enough to see the other end of the ice and all the plays develop. Sad that I'll never sit in seats like that again, no modern arenas that I know of are built like that.

So how about them Oilers eh bud? Lol

I get the idea of embedded sensor to track puck performance and other data, especially after the 2020 season puck quality issue. But LEDs? That's ridiculous to me.

Very cool! Thanks for going to the effort to do that.

Ultimately, why don't they rig something onto the nets so that when the puck fully crosses the line, it signals a goal? Would reduce and eliminate the goal line reviews. Otherwise, what's the use of the puck? Other than player stats, we can see the puck.

Background music is annoying!
