The building last known as Mellon Arena closed last summer just before Consol Energy Center opened across the street as the new home of the Pittsburgh Penguins and the city's largest enclosed concert venue.
Priscilla Parker, president of the We Remember Elvis Fan Club, tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review her friends didn't want the plaque auctioned off with other arena memorabilia. The city-county Sports & Exhibition Authority owns the arena and agreed to donate the plaque to the Senator John Heinz History Center.
The plaque was installed on Presley's birthday in 1982.
