                                __________



PER CURIAM.
       Appellant Preservation Pittsburgh appeals the District Court’s decision dismissing

its complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We will dismiss the appeal as moot.

       Preservation Pittsburgh requested that the District Court enjoin the Federal

Highway Administration (“FHWA”), the Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh

and Allegheny County (“SEA”), and other local defendants from demolishing the Civic

Arena and otherwise proceeding with construction plans for the site until they comply

with three federal statutes: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), National Historic

Preservation Act (NHPA), and Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act

(DOTA).

       Once home to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Civic Arena was in use until 2010,

when a new adjacent arena opened. After the preparation of a report regarding options

for the use or demolition of the Arena, and public comment, the SEA determined that the

only viable economic option was to demolish the Arena. The District Court dismissed

the appeal based on its finding that Preservation Pittsburgh had failed to demonstrate the

requisite level of federal involvement to invoke federal jurisdiction.

       At the time of briefing, demolition had begun on the interior of the Arena.

Asbestos abatement of the roof also had begun. As of today, all that remains is

demolition debris and the Arena’s semi-demolished concrete base. See Exhibit A,

attached.

                                             II.

       We routinely dismiss appeals requesting injunctive relief as moot when the alleged

harm has passed and there is no feasible means to provide relief. See e.g., County of

                                             

. Nationalist Movement, 

, 533-34 (3d Cir. 2001 (dismissing as moot

a declaratory judgment appeal regarding the constitutionality of municipal policies

regarding a July 4th rally after the rally had taken place); In re Cantwell, 

,

1054 (3d Cir. 1981) (“Thus, where, pending appeal, an act or event sought to be enjoined

has been performed or has occurred, an appeal from the denial of the injunction will be

dismissed as moot.”).

       It is obvious that the demolition of the Arena has rendered this appeal moot. Now

that the Arena has been demolished, Preservation Pittsburgh has suffered whatever harm

that conceivably could result from the challenged agency actions. It can no longer claim

an imminent threat of a “concrete and particularized” injury. Moreover, we cannot

fashion meaningful relief because we cannot reconstruct the Arena. The appeal, at the

very least, is prudentially moot.

       Preservation Pittsburgh did request broader relief than an injunction halting the

demolition. The broader relief it requests, however, is based on claims that are highly

speculative. Any future injury that Preservation Pittsburgh may suffer is too contingent

to fulfill the “case or controversy” requirement.

       With the demolition of the Arena complete, Preservation Pittsburgh no longer has

a “concrete and particularized” interest in the outcome of the appeal. We cannot grant

meaningful relief. The appeal will be dismissed as moot.
