The Wachovia Center (formerly known as the 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 NHL and the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA. The arena was completed in 1996 on what was once the site of John F. Kennedy 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 southeast corner of the South Philadelphia sports complex, which includes Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and the arena's predecessor, The Spectrum.

Wachovia Center is one of the newer arenas in the area and is an absolutely great venue to watch NBA action and NHL games.
For concerts, it's decent, the acoustics aren't ideal for music but with the right seats, you can really enjoy a show.
The Club level is upscale--great food and beverage options, private restrooms, and oversized padded seats. For smokers, Holt's Cigar Lounge is amazing--it's got a nice bar, lots of tvs, incredibly comfortable couches, and you just might run into one of the huge celebrities who owns a cigar locker--including Philly's own Will Smith.
