Fans in last minute scramble for Spectrum souvenirs.
Comcast-Spectacor says it will hold one final event for the public on Saturday where fans can pay $25 and take anything they can carry away from the Spectrum arena in South Philadelphia. The company says the demolition will not affect any parking in the area of the Wells Fargo Center nor interfere with any entrance at the Wells Fargo Center.
“We will begin the demolition process by enclosing the Spectrum with protective fencing on Monday,” said Comcast-Spectacor President Peter Luukko. “The demolition of the arena will commence from the inside as early as Monday or Tuesday. We expect to be working on the exterior by the third week in November.”
The event on Saturday is called the “If You Can Carry It, You Can Keep It” event. Admission is $25 which includes a commemorative Spectrum crystal, as well as the opportunity to go onto the arena floor and take home a personal souvenir of the Spectrum.
