It was twelve years ago that the "old barn" was imploded. Just before sundown on Saturday, February 27th, 1999 that FOX2 broadcast the momentous event. They even placed a camera INSIDE The Arena to get a shot what it looked like to the legions of rats, cockroaches and pigeons that met their maker that chilly afternoon.
