well you just got a new stadium for the steelers and a new one for the pirates , so i dont see the pens getting a new arena , but it might happen if mario can work some magic in the boardroom like he did on the ice.

That was many years ago. We just passed legislation for legalized (limited) gambling which will bring in revenue for the community. I believe if the Pens do well in the next year a vote for a new stadium will pass in city council.

Didn't Mario sell the Penguins to an owner who promised to keep the team in pittsburgh and try to get a new stadium? If the pirates got a stadium, and they haven't been good in several years (longer then the Pens), then the Pens deserve a new one too. With Crosby, i don't think a new stadium is that far away.
