Philadelphia Flyers Panoramic - Corestates Center (Inaugural Game)

In the summer of 1996, the City of Philadelphia's dream to build a new state-of-the-art facility for the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers became a reality when the doors were first opened at Corestate Arena, later Corestates Center and now known as the Wachovia Center. In its short history, the arena has hosted some very memorable events. Highlights include its inaugural hockey match, the August 31 contest between Team USA and Team Canada in a first round game of the World Cup of Hockey. A crowd of 19,500 attended that event with Team USA’s John LeClair scoring the first goal ever in the Arena at 5:01 of the first period. On October 5, 1006, the Flyers played their first regular season game at the Center against the Florida Panthers. This panoramic was taken at that inaugural game - a great collectible from this memorable night in Flyers', and the City of Philadelphia's, history.

All our panoramics are unique wide-angle photographs, handsomely framed in thick grooved wood with dark double matting and a descriptive plaque. They are approximately 43 in. w x 17 in. h after framing. Presentation is everything and you will not find higher quality panoramic framing anywhere.
