Xfinity Mobile Arena History
Opened in 1996 and originally known by locals as Spectrum II (due to the Sixers’ and Flyers’ then-home being called the Spectrum), the venue was designed by Ellerbe Becket. The venue has undergone various name changes over the decades; it was called the CoreStates Center from 1996–1998, First Union Center from 1998–2003, and Wachovia Center from 2003–2010, then was renamed Wells Fargo Center in 2010. Wells Fargo Center was renamed to Xfinity Mobile Arena in 2025 after the company landed the naming rights.
Xfinity Mobile Arena has been a cultural hotspot and iconic venue since its inaugural event, when Team USA faced off against Team Canada in the First Round game of the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. Since that 5-3 Team USA win, the arena has seen an extensive amount of nationally-recognized events, including the 1998 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, 1999 AHL All-Star Weekend, 2000 NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four, 2000 Republican National Convention, 2001 NBA Finals, 2001 and 2002 ESPN X-Games, 2002 NBA All-Star Weekend, 2008 U.S. Gymnastics Championships, and the 1997 and 2010 Stanley Cup Finals.
There have also been thousands of notable performers and acts that have graced the stage at Xfinity Mobile Arena, such as Billy Joel, Disney on Ice, Michelle Obama, Kevin Hart, Travis Scott, Metallica, The Killers, American Idol Live, and many more.
Xfinity Mobile Arena has had plenty of updates over the years, including the installation of a new center-hung scoreboard in 2005 and a 4K-resolution scoreboard in 2019. The largest crowd the venue has seen was on September 30, 1999, when the Backstreet Boys performed to 21,424 fans. With 18 total shows, Billy Joel holds the record for the most concerts performed at the the venue by one entertainer.
The venue has perfected the transition from hockey ice to basketball court. It takes approximately two hours and 10 minutes to change the floors from an ice hockey rink to basketball court, using a crew of 35 to cover the ice with 550 sheets of Ice Pro, remove 156 sheets of hockey glass and then build a 225-piece basketball court.
