I enjoy visiting both cities , but the Philly area is home. I absolutely love the neighborhood feel of Philly...Queen Village , Northern Liberties (NoLib) , Manayunk, parts of East Falls, West of Broad, Rittenhouse Square area, etc... I also love that Philly, at 1.4 mill , is nowhere near the size of NYC. I enjoy the differences of both cities and have no envy of NYC. It's also nice having one arena complex for all four major sports franchises; especially one just off I-95 or I -76. About the Spectrum ,as someone who is 6'2" , I am glad that I spend PJ shows on my feet. The seating is kind of cramped . Also, I had forgotten no cupholders were present until I had a seat in 209 for Bruce over two shows last week.

soooo basically it is really only a big deal for people that live there....which explains why it means nothing to me?
i was just wondering.
This explains to me that you did not get tickets. Have some positive energy and don't piss on a parade you can't attend or understand. :roll:
hmmm...who has negative energy? i asked a reasonable question. i have never been to the spectrum and was just trying to figure out why people were acting like it was the roman colliseum coming down.
for the record, i didnt even try for tickets. i had other things that i chose to spend my money and vacation time on. if i had either available for next week, i would be off to new orleans for halloween/voodoo festival.
if you are going to the philly shows, i hope you have a fantastic time; just as i did at the seattle and portland shows. in the future, perhaps you should avoid making accusations about people and their intentions.

Sammi: Wanna just break up?

I forgot about the no cupholders. The Wach center doesn't have them either. What's up with that?
Yes the Spectrum held a lot of great memories, but it's time for it to go. And what a way for it to go... it should be amazing. Besides, did anybody see the plans for what is going in it's place? I don't know about anybody else, but I'm pretty excited. I'm down there a lot for Phillies/Eagles games and aside from McFadden's which is always a nuthouse or Chickie's and Pete's which isn't super close, it will be nice to have more stuff to do before the games that is right in the center of things.
