PPG Paints Arena Events

PPG Paints Arena opened as the new home of the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins in 2010 after over a decade of trying to secure a replacement for their previous aging arena. The Penguins actually won their third Stanley Cup in 2009, shortly before the venue opened and actually, amusingly, brought the Cup to the construction site. Penguins captains past and present Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby both participated in the arena’s opening ceremony, giving fans the unique opportunity to see these two hockey legends of different eras on the ice together. The Penguins have delighted their fans since with two more Stanley Cups (back-to-back triumphs in 2016 and 2017), bringing the franchise total to five. Along with all regular season and playoffs Penguins home games, PPG Paints Arena is also a popular venue for concerts, comedy shows, and NCAA basketball. Anyone who arrives at PPG Paints Arena hungry will be tempted by the many tasty snacks on offer, with everything from smokehouse BBQ to mac & cheese bites to Jake’s Shake milkshakes on the menu. The venue’s numerous kiosks and shops stock team and event merchandise, including lots of stuff emblazoned with the Penguins colors and famous skating penguin logo.
