On August 25, 1994 the Civic Arena roof opened to the Space Odessy theme song while the Phantoms played the Minnesota Arctic Blast. It was the first time the stainless steel dome was opened for a professional hockey game.

What is Mellon Arena?

Mellon Arena (formerly the Civic Auditorium and Civic Arena, nicknamed The Igloo) is an arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is named for Mellon Financial, which purchased the naming rights in 1999 and was the world's first major indoor sports stadium with a retractable roof. It primarily serves as the home to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the city's National Hockey League (NHL) franchise, though the Penguins will be moving to its new arena, the Consol Energy Center at the start of the 2010-2011 season.

How many times has civic arena roof been opened?

Many times. Contrary to popular belief, the roof worked fine. It was the Penguins who added the extra large scoreboard, causing it to no longer open in 1995. I attended at least three concerts there with the roof open in the 80s. And drove by it with the roof open often. The roof opened almost completely and silently,in about 2 minutes. A true marvel to watch and awesome to see a concert with it open. Pittsburgh dropped the ball on tearing down a building that was a marvel. No surprise.
