The Philadelphia-based sports and entertainment firm will close the 42-year-old Spectrum at the conclusion of the upcoming 2008-09 hockey and soccer seasons. It is still yet to be determined when and how the Spectrum will come down, whether by implosion or by other means. The arena opened in September, 1967 with the Quaker City Jazz Festival. After nearly 40 seasons of Philadelphia Flyers hockey and Philadelphia 76ers basketball, the Spectrum gave way to the Wachovia Center in l996.
