First Union Center

Pros: Short walk from the car to the arena.
Cons: Seats are slightly uncomfortable.

I've attended two Flyers games in 2007. Both times, I showed up approximately 40 minutes before the game, paid $11 to park, and was able to park almost a rock's throw away from the stadium. It was very convenient. Once inside, I was greeted with ...

Pros: good views, lots of food, teams are good now
Cons: not as loud as before

I was a little skeptical when they chose to build the wachovia center (known before as the First Union, or FU Center - as everyone in philly knows). The old place was soooo loud, and so fun that I wasn't sure it would be the same. well, the only bad ...

Pros: A modern arena with better lighting and crowd control entering and exiting
Cons: Same cramped seating spacing.

My first trip to the First Union Center was in early April for the Houston Rockets NBA game with the hometown Sixers, showcasing Yao Ming's visit. I must admit, I had a bit of an inside advantage. I had a four ticket package that included VIP parking,...

Pros: Good view of the action on the ice
Cons: Pricing - through the roof Parking lot - hard to exit

I recently attended a Flyers game. I won the seats in a radio contest, and that's the only way I'll ever be able to afford to sit in Club Section 3. They retail for a whopping $170.00 each. I doubt that my consience would let me pay that amount on a...

Pros: Food, accessibility, sound system, comfort, facilities
Cons: atmosphere too white collar, dull

The First Union Center is a beautiful building. Walking through the corridors, you would think that it is a hotel or you are at an airport. It is very nice, feeling almost a bit luxurious. The food is very good, with selections of chicken, pizza,...

Pros: Clean facility, good parking, fairly easy access from highway
Cons: Hockey crowds seem drowsy

I have been to the First Union Center for several Flyers games and the 2001 X Games. I have yet to attend a 76ers game there. All in all, I would say the arena is all too similar to many of the next generation facilities I have either visited or seen on...

Pros: "Good seats", fairly professional crowd (for Philly), exciting game, good beer
Cons: PRICE, Knick's are terrible! and the sixers can't shoot

The first union center, ahh it's so much nicer than the Spectrum. I'll start off by saying that my seats were the last row in section 209 (row 15 seat #12). So you guys know I'm not making this review up.

Pros:
Despite sitting in the...

Pros: Good food, Excellent seats, Great view, and decent price.
Cons: Limited Parking, Food price, and Long wait to get out of stadium.

Now I am a die hard Hockey fan and I go see atleast 15 to 20 games a year and the First union center in Philadelphia is by far one of the best. Not only is their Hockey team up and rising but the First Union Center is one of the cleanest, well built...

Pros: Better view than in the old Spectrum
Cons: Terrible ambiance when compared to the Spectrum

The FU Center is a gorgeous building. The concourse is much wider than the Spectrum was. There is more than one bathroom. There are many places to buy souvenirs and food. There are ATM machines, air hockey tables, bubble hockey tables and basketball...

Pros: Good seats, clean, lots of extras, and good teams
Cons: Expensive, parking is tough

I have attended the First Union Center multiple times to see 76ers games, and I can say that it is a a great arena. There are lots of displays about Philadelphia basketball, from the high school level all the way up to the pro players, and there are fan...

Pros: Outside center city, easy commuting, Excellent condition, great seating, Flyers and Sixers action
Cons: Food is just ok

The First Union Center also known as the FU Center is already a hometown favorite for Philadelphia citizens. And why not? The huge building seats 20,000 people for hockey games and even more for basketball games. Not only do the always good Flyers...

Pros: Fairly new arena, club boxes galore, roast beef sandwiches & cheese steaks
Cons: Not even allowed on the club box level if you don't have club box seats

I'm an avid hockey fan in the tri-state area and often go to Madison Square Garden, Continental Arena & the First Union Center. Once you've been to the garden and continental you will really appreciate the First Union Center. I agree with some of the...

Pros: Home of Allen Iverson. Good food, high quality staff and friendly atmosphere.
Cons: Limited parking

My first experience at the First Union Arena was amazing. I wanted to see Allen Iverson play since he was drafted into the NBA. The only problem with the arena is the limited parking but we managed to get a space. Once inside I was amazed by...

Pros: Food, cleanliness, expert staff
Cons: the Sixers

Yes the NBA playoffs are upon us, as a matter of fact at this time only four teams remain in those same playoffs. One of them being the fabled Philadelphia 76ers who make their home in the famed Spectrum 2 Arena, no sorry, the CoreStates Center, no wait,...

Pros: Brewery, great seats, lots of parking
Cons: Expensive

The First Union Center is a great improvement over the older Spectrum which is right next door.

There are a variety of seating choices. Many companies own club-boxes or suites. The club-boxes have a bar right there, and there are...
