[edit] Location

It would be useful to have its location in Philaedelphia outlined in the article for people not in Philaedelphia. Capitalistroadster 19:59, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Previous building?

What was on this site before it was built? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 15:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The Wachovia Center sits on the site previously occupied by the Philadelphia Municipal Stadium which was built in 1925 for the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition. (The facility was renamed JFK Stadium in 1964.) The area it occupied (bordered by Broad Street, Pattison Avenue, Terminal Avenue, and 11th Street) was originally known as East League Island Park.Centpacrr (talk) 19:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
