With Help From City, Penguins Reverse Course And Will Now Host Playoff Watch Parties

The city of Pittsburgh and the Penguins announced Thursday that they will "hold watch parties for all home games of the team's opening-round series" against the Rangers, beginning with Game 3 on Monday at 7:00pm ET in Market Square, according to Jason Mackey of the PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW. Game 4 on Wednesday "can be seen in PPG Place." Fans "can arrive both days" at 5:00pm ET. The Penguins on Monday announced that they "would not hold playoff watch parties because of construction at the former Civic Arena site before Mayor Bill Peduto stepped in" (TRIBLIVE.com, 4/16). The AP reported the Penguins, First Niagara Bank, iHeartMedia, the Market Square Merchants Association and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership "are sponsoring the events" (AP, 4/16).
