I'm going by this http://www.consolenergycenter.com/default.asp?consol=25&urlkeyword=Fun%20Facts The 18,087 is for hockey, compared to the 16,940 that the Mellon Arena offered. The Consol website says concerts set up in the end stage will hold an estimate of 14,500 compared to the 12,800 that the Mellon Arena held.
OK, thanks. I wasn't thinking about the loss in end seating, but they must not be figuring in the additional floor seats--so hopefully there would actually be closer to 17,000 total.

Very true. I think the end stage set up on the Consol website is with GA flooring.

Thanks for posting the info about their new website Matt! I see they have several other events scheduled for next winter.. The big opening event seems like it's going to be kept hush for a while. But we know Paul likes to keep things hush too By the way, the arena looks AMAZING. Their new twitter page looks pretty sweet too! I'm now following them for the news updates!

Just received an email from Consol Energy Center, nothing too major. Lady Gaga tickets are going onsale Friday, but the new arena website is up and ready. http://www.consolenergycenter.com/ End Stage concert setup only holds 14,500, that is good compared to the 12,800 that the Mellon Arena holds. I know now that this will be a tough ticket if Paul comes here, not that I didn't know that already.
So I guess he will have to do two shows.
oh you read my mind! I've been thinking all along that 2 shows will be necessary if Paul opens this building. I didn't want to jump ahead of myself being that we don't even have 1 confirmed.. but it makes sense!
-
Two shows would be even better!!!
-
I'm counting on it
-
2 concerts would be great, but i'd be happy with just one! I'll get tickets one way or another..the wait for an announcement is killing me..!

I had the oldies radio station (the Pickle) on at work this morning and right after they played a Beatle song they talked about Paul being out on the road and said he just did a few dates in the states for now.. and that after his European dates he's supposed to do more dates.. they said "hmm.. waiting to hear if he's coming around this way!" I really think they were speculating on doing more dates after Europe.. but it still pumped me up!

What is "The Pickle"? I thought 3WS was the oldies station in Pgh?

What are the plans for the old arena? It's pretty cool looking and I would hate to lose another Beatles venue.

Rush announced they are playing the new arena September 16th, I really hope that isn't the big band they have planned. Nothing against Rush or their fans.

I hope it isn't the opening band either..

I don't think so...this concert is still after the Lady Gaga concert (September 5th)..so obviously Rush isn't the opening act either.

The Pirates were my first favorite team. I think it was because they had just won the World Series and I liked pirates (I was 5 at the time).

As of right now, the Buccos are UNDEFEATED. I'm sure it will be the only time all year we will be over 500 so enjoy it while it lasts!

I haven't heard what the plans are. Probably turn it into an overpriced parking garage.

I'm a White Sox fan but I really hope the Pirates do good for 2 reasons. 1) I went to high school with Garrett Jones and he's just such a nice guy and really deserves all the good stuff he has going this season and the end of last year. Hell, I did shots of tequilla with him at his sisters wedding a few years ago!!! and 2) i really hate the cubs and hope the Pirates can beat them a few times this year too.
