Spectrum stayed standing for 42 years but they stopped playing major league sports there in 1996 (Flyers closed out The Spectrum with an ignominious double OT loss to the Florida Panthers in the 2nd round of the playoffs), so actually a shorter amount of time than the place named after banks.

But by all means, yes let's get another building closing Pearl Jam run!

Wells Fargo Center is basically as old as the Vet was when it was demolished

I think the only think we know is that the Wells Fargo center will be coming down. There were plans for a huge development down there. Am sure at least some of that will happen 

Why? it's still relatively "new". It's in pretty decent condition I thought.

Also if it does come down will Pearl Jam play a 4 night run there to close it out?

It's part of the deal they agreed to with staying. 

This is America, Dave. We do not preserve our old buildings. Most of the arenas built in the 90's have either been replace or are being talked about being replaced in the coming years. 

This will make us all feel old, buuuutt

Spectrum 1967-2009 = 42
WF Center - 1996-2031 = 35

Sooo, not that much of a difference when all is said and done and yeah, these things seem to turn over more quickly.

Biggest question...how much longer does the Linc have?

Doesn't seem that old. Still think it's in decent shape, but what do i know?

Linc and CBP maybe about 20 years?
