This is the best view inside Mellon Arena. That's what Phil Retenauer says. He's the usher at the landing that's so near to the top of the Igloo that you can reach out and touch the ceiling. The view is dizzyingly spectacular. On this day -- March 30 -- the Penguins hosted the New York Rangers (the Pens came out on top, 3-1). The arena is in it's 47th year, making it the oldest facility in use in the NHL. Closer to the action, fans in the picture below sit near the visiting team's runway and share space with the Rangers' back-up goalie, Stephen Valiquette.
