Spectrum Down To Its Final Hours
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Spectrum is down to its final hours.
At noon on Tuesday, demolition will begin on the iconic South Philadelphia arena, ending an era in Philadelphia sports history.
The Spectrum saw the Flyers become the first expansion team to win a Stanley Cup in 1974. It saw the Sixers win a championship in 1983. Since it opened in 1967, it’s also hosted thousands of concerts and other events, like the circus, monster truck rallies and wrestling.
But now, the lights have been shut off at America’s showplace.
Eyewitness News got an exclusive look inside the building on Monday, and it is nothing more than a shell. All the seats are gone. Trash litters the once crowded-concourse. It is a building that is about to meet its end.
“There’s nothing in there. It certainly doesn’t look the way it used to look,” said Alvin Davis.
