Tearing Down the Igloo
In coming weeks, there will be five similar demolition sessions at the arena.
The final step of removing “the Igloo’s” roof will be cutting up the cantilever arm that has held the entire piece in place since the building opened in 1961; the Civic Auditorium was the world’s first major indoor sports stadium with a retractable roof—six of the panels folded into two. For the last decade of its use, the roof was immobile, partially due to the scoreboard hanging from the center. Demolition is expected to be complete by May 2012.
