Per a new report from theDaily News' Frank Seravalli, the Wells Fargo Center is set to undergo a series of renovations following the 2016 season. Originally opened in 1996, and affectionately known as "The House that Eric Built" after #88, the arena is nearly two decades old.



Seravalli offered a point of reference to Flyers fans who might not have been around for days of the Spectrum.



For perspective, the Spectrum served the Flyers and Sixers for 29 years (1967-1996) before the then-named CoreStates Center opened across the parking lot.

Comcast Spectator COO David A. Scott has an aggressive modernization plan in place to keep the Wells Fargo Center hip with the times, a project expected to cost many millions of dollars.



Among the changes coming are a complete overhaul of the suite and club levels, an arena wide WIFI system, and upgrades to both the lower and upper concourses.



Fans can expect the new, high speed WIFI to go live as early as this January. As for the rest, we will just have to wait and see.
