The Wachovia Spectrum, home to a number of championships for professional Philadelphia sports is scheduled to close next spring, and be demolished, according to Comcast-Spectacor, the arena's owners.
The site will become a portion of the new Philly Live! development of retail, dining, and entertainment establishments.
The arena is still the home for the Phantoms of the American Hockey League, and the Kixx indoor soccer team.
The arena housed the NHL Flyers' only two Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and '75, and the NBA 76ers' championship of 1983. It was known to be a rowdy place, reflective of its fans. The Flyers and Sixers moved to the new Wachovia Center in 1996.
It is not known whether the Spectrum will be brought down by implosion, or by other means.
