Pittsburgh, PA - Pittsburgh’s oldest Orthodox Jewish synagogue is now the only building the city-county Sports & Exhibition Authority must buy and demolish before construction can begin on the Penguin’s $290 million Uptown arena.
The authority OK’d spending $762,000 today to buy a surface parking lot at 1205 Fifth Ave. from Teris Parking.
That leaves the nearby Beth Hamedrash Hagodol-Beth Jacob synagogue, which is a “high priority” for the SEA to acquire so it can make way for the arena.
A ground-breaking for the arena hasn’t been set, Conturo said, but the Pens are slated to open the 2010 season in the new arena.

Well in todays day and age, they can transfer/relocate the building. Why don't they do that??
