Last night a reader wrote in to tell us about an evacuation at Chelsea Piers Sky Rink Pier. She wrote, "We were just in the middle of an intense hockey game at Chelsea piers, the sky rink pier, when rink management came running out to immediately evacuate the building. Why? Because the PIER IS COLLAPSING!!!" Another person wrote on Contribute, "Chelsea Piers Sky Rink shut down due to to structural damage from a boat." A call to the Piers didn't yield many details, but they confirmed they were closed until further notice. The website also states that "the West Rink is closed for repairs," and will also be closed for all of Labor Day weekend.




I was there last night as well. At 10:00 pm all hockey players were told to leave the rink due to the fact that there was a structural problem with the pier. I am surprised that there has been no media info on this.
THE SKYrink IS FALLING! THE SKYrink IS FALLING!
