Built waaaay back in the 1960's it looks like the Spectrum has finally sung its last tune (literally, seeing as Pearl Jam was the last act to perform there). It's scheduled for demolition on Nov. 23 at noon which is just shy of 2 weeks away from today. Like most Flyers and Sixers fans I went and saw my very first Flyers game in that building when I was just a wee lad and I instantly loved the place...with the exception of my seat being right behind a pillar so I would barely see the game.
There is a block party open to the public opening I believe 1 hour before demolition starts, dollar dogs and soft drinks (but I'd prefer beer for such an occasion). Former Flyers Bobby Clarke and Bernie Parent will be there along with some Sixer I don't give a rats ass about. If you're like me and will always remember your first game at the Spectrum, I suggest you go say fare-the-well that Tuesday
