A multi-purpose indoor arena which is home to both the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penguins and the Area Football League's Pittsburgh Power. Construction was completed in 2010 and PPG Paints Arena is the first LEED® Gold certified major sports venue in the country. The venue seats 18,087 people in honor of Penguins team captain Sidney Crosby's No. 87. The Center uses 40% less water consumption by volume and thanks in part to natural lighting and high-efficiency ventilation, boasts a 31% reduction in energy consumption. As soon as the arena opened in 2010, it was lauded as one of the best in the world, winning both "Best New Major Concert Venue" in the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards and "Best NHL Arena" in the Sports Business Journal reader poll.

Populous, formerly HOK Sport, designers of PNC Park and Heinz Field, designed the building working with local architect Astorino and Oxford Development oversaw the building of the arena. More than a dozen buildings were razed in order to create CONSOL Energy Center.
