We, the citizens of Pittsburgh, petition our Mayor and City Council for a ceremony that recognizes the history of our famed Mellon Arena by opening the roof for a public celebration ONE LAST TIME!
I have been spending my nights digging through old photos of the arena roof opening and thinking about what it would mean to see that silver dome retract one final time. Officials are still quiet but I am working to get the right people to sit down and listen to why this matters for our city's heritage.

Seeing this momentum grow brings back so many memories of the nights we spent under that iconic roof. Your energy behind this movement proves that the history of the Igloo still lives on in the hearts of this city.

The igloo is a legend. Seeing that roof open up back in the day was pure magic. We need to see it just one more time before they totally tear it down.
