Pittsburgh Penguins Tickets
The Pittsburgh Penguins are a professional NHL hockey franchise, based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team was first founded in 1967 along with the Philadelphia Flyers, who are also based in Pennsylvania. Both teams compete in the Atlantic Division of the NHL's Eastern Conference and the Penguins play their home games in Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena.
The Penguins enjoyed many of their glory years during the Lemieux ara, when the team managed to win many division titles, along with two consecutive Stanley cups, in 1991 and 1992. This season, under the leadership of young superstar Sydney Crosby, the Penguins will look to replicate their early 90's success and bring Lord Stanley's Cup back to Pennsylvania.

A most recent arena proposal includes a partnership with Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. - a gambling company intending to install slot machines. The project cost is estimated at $290 million. The arena is part of a proposed $1 billion development financed by Nationwide Realty. If an arena is not built, rumors suggest that the team will move to Kansas City, Houston, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Quebec City, or Winnipeg.
