The Center opened in 1996 with game one of the World Cup hockey finals. Since then, a multitude of shows have graced the arena's floor, from Flyers home games and Ice Capade performances to music concerts by Madonna, KISS, Ray Charles in concert. It is the home arena of the Philadelphia Flyers of the NHL and the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA and the city's scrappy major league lacrosse team. They also have exhibits on display regarding the history of the Flyers and a video wall with live feeds of even. It boasts ample local and national food vendors as well as several restaurants.

 Rocky Statue by pieter_jan_v Don't miss the statue of Rocky. Here it is standing at the entrance of The Spectrum. It is possible it's moved from there. Leave a Comment

by Easty I am a die hard Eagles fan. The only game I ever attended was the 2000 NFC Wildcard game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was very cold that day. But it was well worth it. Here is a view of the Eagles' new stadium (Lincoln Financial Field). It is scheduled to open in 2003. Leave a Comment

by spartan The Palestra, home of the University of Pennsylvania Quakers, is one of the most storied basketball arenas in the country. Opened in 1927, it has hosted more games, more visiting teams, and more NCAA tournament games than any other facility. While the Palestra hosts all Penn basketball home games, it also plays host to other intra-city games, including home games of nearby Drexel and St. Joe's, and the City League high school championships. For more than forty years the Palestra was the site of Philadelphia Big Five double headers, and it has become what Dallas-based writer Joe Rhoads calls "the best place to watch a college basketball game in America."

When the NHL season is on I suggest you can try to catch a game with the Flyers.

 The Eagles at Veterans Stadium by matt1168 For the sports-lover, Philly is a great city to see your favorite sport in (even though the Eagles and Sixers are the only teams worth seeing) because all sports venues are right next to each other and incredibly easy to access via rapid transit. Leave a Comment Address: Broad and PattisonDirections: At the south end of Broad St, between Pattison Av. and the Delaware Expressway- southern terminus of the Orange Line Subway

There are a lot of games in baseball and the early tickets are easier to get. Baseball is much cheaper than hockey and football as far as tickets go... Try out the luxury suites! if not, the regular seats are perfect too for a day at the ballpark Leave a Comment Address: Citizens Bank ParkDirections: South Philadelphia stadium district. They are all near eachother.
