PITTSBURGH, Pa. — It looks like fans will be able to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins playoff action outside on a big screen after all.

Uptown, a lounge located across the street from Consol Energy Center, announced Tuesday it will host a rooftop party during Penguins games, complete with a 130-inch big screen.

“Since the Penguins can’t have it during the first round due to current construction, we’re happy to keep the tradition alive but with a twist,” said Uptown general manager Jesse Herrle.

Doors will open at 3 p.m. and a buffet will be available during the games.

Uptown will continue hosting an event through the first round of the playoffs.
