This isn't major news, but I thought the photo with ThighCrush in the background was pretty neat.

It's funny how they have a train in the background of all the pics on the roof. It's obvious they were waiting for it to come to add the theme park element to the photos.

Glad the damage wasn't too bad. I really miss that arena. It smelled like hockey in there no matter what type of event you were going to. I mean that in a good way. The place just felt special and I was able to see a lot of cool stuff there.

I don't believe I was ever in the arena, unless as a kid..but I doubt that, since Hershey was three hours away.

Its truly an historic venue.

- tons of hockey history
- Wilt Chamberlain scored his 100 points
- President Eisenhower's big birthday bash
- First ever Ice Capades show
- Ric Flair defeated Randy Savage for (then) WWF Title
