When it first opened in 1961, the Mellon Arena was known as the Civic Arena. In the Fall of 1967, the Mellon Arena became the home of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins. In December of 1999, the resident Pittsburgh Penguins signed an $18-million, 10-year agreement to rename the Civic Arena the Mellon Arena, after the Pittsburgh-based bank. An agreement announced on March 13, 2007, between the Penguins, the city of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and the state of Pennsylvania, calls for a New Pittsburgh Arena to be constructed for the start of the 2010/2011 NHL season.
