Keep the cantilever

Written by Susan Mannella on .

The Pittsburgh-made steel cantilever arch that supports our Pittsburgh-made stainless steel arena is structurally self-supporting.

Leave the cantilever, demolish and develop the rest.

We have a remnant of Forbes Field, the outfield wall.

A remnant of Three Rivers Stadium, the gate markers.

Let's keep a part of the arena, the cantilever arm.

It will be an appropriate and historical remembrance of Pittsburgh's ultimate steel palace, and a really cool tourist attraction, too.
