The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced a special collaboration with Fred Rogers Productions to host the first-ever Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Day when the Penguins take on the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday, March 1 at 1:00 PM at PPG Paints Arena.
The game will celebrate Mister Rogers' “legacy of kindness, compassion, and modeling” of what it means to be a good neighbor.
Fans attending the afternoon matchup will see a variety of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood in-arena elements, highlighting the beloved children’s television icon and his deep roots in the Pittsburgh community.
A special ticket package is also available and includes a Penguins-branded Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood-style cardigan, designed to honor Rogers’ iconic look.
The sweater ticket package can be purchased here.
Additionally, PensGear will also be selling an exclusive Penguins and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood t-shirt.
With support from U.S. Steel, fans can enjoy interactive concourse activations, receive cheer card giveaways, and take part in community spotlights honoring local land neighbors.
This also isn’t the first time Mister Rogers' Neighborhood has been featured at a Pittsburgh Penguins game. During the 1991–92 season, as part of the National Hockey League’s 75th Anniversary Celebration, Fred Rogers was honored as the Penguins’ “Celebrity Captain.”
