Wachovia Center

The Wachovia Center, formerly known as Spectrum II (prior to construction), CoreStates Center, and the First Union Center, is an indoor arena located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is the home arena of the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League, the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association, and the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League. The arena was completed in 1996 on what was once the site of John F. Kennedy Stadium (ne้ Philadelphia Municipal Stadium) at a cost of $206 million, largely privately financed (though the city and state helped to pay for the local infrastructure). The building lies at the southwest corner of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, which includes Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and the Wachovia Spectrum, its predecessor as home to the Flyers, 76ers, and Wings.

Tickets can be purchased through the Box Office located in the Wachovia Center, online at comcasttix.com or by calling
