The first USHRA event (Then called Truck-O-Rama) was held at the Civic arena on 7/30-8/1 1981. It's unlikely that there were monsters at this event, but I have pictures personally of monsters at the arena from April 1986. I would guess that they had monsters starting around '84-'85 though.

It was originally built to house the Civic Light Opera, because the dome design would create great acoustics.
They were first known as the Pittsburgh Pirates but this changed because they played in the "igloo" which is the nick name of the mellon arena.
