    All-time hated teams in pro sports, according to SI -

    #4 - 74/75 Flyers

    Nice.

    Wow..who is Number 1 ?

    86 Miami Hurricanes

    Others in the top 5 were 92 Cowboys, 78 Yankees, and I forget the other one.

    Oh, and I guess it's not only pro sports.

    UNLV hoops has to be there

    I don't watch espn, but I did see that 30 for 30 on the U teams from the 80s. that was comedy gold. why do they always have to take the fun out of sports?

    Nice.

    That was a fun list. I still regret not being born early enough to see those teams. A 70s Flyers game at the Spectrum and a Led Zep concert would be at the top of my time travel destinations.

    if this doesn't prove that the NHL dislikes the Flyers nothing would. also, was reading on SI that the flyers are ranked 4 in the nhl. the pens are 3rd.

    Yeah it's not too bad...I loved the closeness of the Specrtrum

    These newer building are so spread out and distant from the ice

    i was pretty close. row 5 or 7 right across from the visitors dressing room tunnel.

    i was just thinking of what stadiums are the best. of the ones i've been to (philly, columubs, chicago, & detroit), the Joe wins hands down. none of that bs luxery box crap. standing room only tickets put you at the top of the lower bowl, not at the top of the nose bleeds. even the upper bowl isn't that far away.

    I'm really not a fan of the FU/Wachov/WTF Center. But I think it at least may have acquired some personality this year, in that Boston series. Game 6 of that series was one of the coolest sportest events I've seen.

    Yeah..the Joe looks like its a great place to see a game

    I wish a chance to see the old Chicago Stadium and Bahston Gahdan before they were imploded

    old chicago would have been cool, as would the spectrum. i like the old barns. today's buildings while nice (escalators, bathrooms, consessions), just don't have the cool atmosphere of the old buildings.

    I am little disappointed that the flyers didn't sign him up. but from what i remember he was asking for more money from the flyers. oh well, maybe the plan is for him to hurt Sid the kid for us.
