First Union Center

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...

Pros: Atmosphere, food, service, the team
Cons: after game traffic

I attended a Philadelphia Flyers game at the First Union Center against the Detriot Red Wings. For a die hard hockey fan the First Union Center is heaven. You can feel the adrenaline flowing through the entire arena. The people, the displays, the rink,...

Pros: Easy access
Cons: food is decent at best

I must say how impressed I am with the somewhat-still-new First Union center. It's an interesting set-up, with the old Spectrum and the Vet right there as well.

For starters, it is easy to get to. I-95 and 76 are right there, with easy access...

Pros: Classic Feel, Great Luxery Boxes
Cons: Nothing Different about classicson the regular interion, not on the luxery boxes.

I've been to a couple of 76ers games in my life and they have been at the now four year old first union center, which, in fact, started out as the Corestates Center, before First Union bought Corestates out. I was there when it was the Corestates 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 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: good conversation
Cons: out of touch with the game

The First Union Center is unlike it's sister next door The Spectrum.The only purpose for the First Union Center is so that out of touch,deal making businesses can send their clients to a sporting event.The true fans can not get seats because all of the...

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: good seating, clean
Cons: none really

I have been to the First Union Center for a Flyers game, I am a diehard Flyers fan! In two weeks, my sister, mother and me are taking my 3 year old daughter to see Sesame Street live there. I know she will like it. The seating is great at the First Union...

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, 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: 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: -No bad seats
Cons: - Im only rating for hockey games in Philly

I purchased the LOWEST price seats I could find. I LOVE the FLyers but have NO money. EVERY SECOND of the action was easily visable from where I sat. Between periods, I wandered around to other parts of the arena and I absolutely could NOT find a bad spot for the action. Every angle I viewed from was clear. Please note, that during my intermission view-finding mission, I was basing my opinion on a "mites-on-ice" game. Those kids are MUCH smaller than the NHLers. If I could clearly see them, then I doubt the NHL players would be hard to see.

There were no beams from any angle I sat at and there were snack vendors close-by at all times without getting in the way. This arena is SO much fun to see a game from. I can't offer you any advice about parking because I took a limo to the game. I can tell you that parking is about $15 regularly.

Pros: Flyers! View.
Cons: Food & drink prices. Sometimes you have to park far.

Just bought my first set of season ticket to the Flyers this past year. And had great seats. The whole arena has a good view, no seat is bad. The only thing is that if your going to want food and drink it'll probalbly cost you more than the ticket.

Pros: great seats. nice bars. decent drink selections. ok team apparel section.
Cons: narrow and crowded hallways. dirty bathrooms, traffic nightmare.

Went to game 5, 2004-Flyers vs Devils. Nothing beats nhl playoff hockey between 2 rivals in a great hockey city! Nice new arena, though its much like other buildings in that it doesn't have the old time charm. With the NFL and MLB stadiums nearby, parking is a disaster. Be careful about cheering for the opposing team if you team wins.
