Penguins Move Big Screen Location For Playoffs

PITTSBURGH, PA - Continuing a tradition that dates back more than a decade, the KeyBank Big Screen will return again this year for every Penguins home game in the Stanley Cup playoffs. But the screen will have a new location.

The Penguins announced the screen will be located in the arena parking lof at the corner of Centre Avenue and Logan Street directly across from PPG Paints Arena. Logan Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between Centre and Wylie Avenue during all home playoff games.

“Moving the KeyBank Big Screen to the corner of Centre and Logan gives us a larger space and enables us to create a much more fan-friendly atmosphere, with a stage for bands, food trucks, face painters and interactive games," James Santilli, Pens’ senior vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "All of the activations will take place on Logan Street. We really think it will be a fun, vibrant environment for our fans."

The Pens open their first-round playoff series on the road against the New York Islanders, with the first two games at Nassau Coliseum on Wednesday and Friday. The big screen will not be in operation for those games.

The series shifts to Pittsburgh for games three and four on April 14 and April 16, when big screen activities will begin two hours before game time.
