Commencement Dates at Mellon Arena

Commencement Dates Allderdice High School 1:00 PM
Sunday, June 17, 2007 Mellon Arena

Mellon Arena is the venue for high school graduations for:

Allderdice,

Brashear,

Carrick,

Oliver,

Peabody,

Perry, and

Schenley.

Do you really need luxery boxes for a high school graduation? Do you really want to go to a slots parlor after the high school graduation?

Perhaps the Mellon Arena can be turned into a charter school, say for bank tellers and those in cash businesses.

My point is that we should keep the building and turn it into a 'civic arena' again. Let the Pens do Plan B or whatever with the IOC. But don't let the Pens knock down an important civic building that has many uses beyond NHL games.
