Getting there

Xfinity Mobile Arena anchors the South Philadelphia Sports Complex at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, alongside Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and the soon-to-open Citizens Bank Park East side. SEPTA's Broad Street Line runs directly from Center City to the NRG Station at the south end of Broad Street, a short walk from the gates — it's the standard way fans approach without a car. Driving from Center City takes about 15 minutes via Broad Street or I-95 to the Broad Street exit; surface lots and garages ring the sports complex. Reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats game-night pricing on big Sixers or Flyers dates. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed along Pattison Avenue. Confirm bag and entry rules on the arena site before going — operational details shift season to season.

The neighborhood

The South Philly Sports Complex is a four-venue cluster — the arena, the Linc, Citizens Bank Park, and the practice facilities — surrounded by surface lots rather than a dense pre-game neighborhood. Tailgating in those lots is the canonical Philadelphia pre-game scene, particularly for Eagles Sundays, but Flyers and Sixers nights generate their own well-developed lot culture too. Xfinity Live!, the indoor-outdoor entertainment complex between the arena and the Linc, is the year-round social hub for fans who aren't tailgating — multiple bars, restaurants, and oversized screens under one roof. East Passyunk Avenue's restaurant row and the Italian Market are a short drive north for fans wanting a sit-down meal before heading to the complex. The neighborhood reads as a working sports-and-stadium district rather than an urban village.

Where to eat & drink nearby

Pre-game options at and around the complex include Xfinity Live! (the indoor-outdoor entertainment complex steps from the arena — multiple bars and restaurants under one roof, the default fan meet-up), Chickie's & Pete's (the Crab Fries originator on Packer Avenue, a short drive from the complex), and Tony Luke's (the South Philly cheesesteak and roast pork institution on Oregon Avenue). For the canonical cheesesteak detour, Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks sit across from each other at 9th and Passyunk. Federal Donuts in Pennsport is the Philadelphia fried-chicken-and-donuts standby. P'unk Burger on East Passyunk is the casual sit-down option a short drive north. Pre-game crowds at Xfinity Live! build quickly on Sixers and Flyers weekend home dates.

First-timer tips

Plan to arrive at least an hour before tipoff or puck drop — Broad Street Line trains run frequently but security screening on a sellout night can stack up. The arena was renamed from Wells Fargo Center to Xfinity Mobile Arena in September 2025; older signage and search results still use the prior name, so don't be surprised by mixed references in the wild. The current ownership group has invested heavily in concourse renovations, premium clubs, and tech upgrades over the past several seasons. Mobile-only tickets and cash-free concessions are the norm; download tickets in advance because cellular reception can be uneven on full nights. Bag policy and entry rules change season to season — check the official site before heading to the gates.

Best games to catch

For the Sixers, marquee dates are Celtics, Knicks, Heat, and Bucks — those games consistently price above season average and are the hardest weekend tickets. Visits from the Lakers, Warriors, and any return-of-a-former-Sixer night also peak demand. For the Flyers, the Metropolitan Division rivals (Penguins, Rangers, Devils, Islanders, Capitals) anchor the most reliable above-average draws — Flyers–Penguins in particular carries Patrick Division heritage weight. Original Six visitors (Bruins, Blackhawks, Red Wings) and any playoff games for either club price as the hardest tickets of the year. Both teams publish promotional calendars — heritage nights, giveaways, themed jerseys — on their official sites; specifics vary year to year.

What to know

The arena opened in August 1996 as the CoreStates Center, replacing the adjacent Spectrum, and has carried a long chain of bank-naming-rights names: CoreStates Center, First Union Center, Wachovia Center, Wells Fargo Center, and — since September 2025 — Xfinity Mobile Arena under Comcast's naming-rights agreement (Comcast already owned the Flyers' parent company through the Comcast Spectacor portfolio). The building is the South Philadelphia home of the Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) and Philadelphia Flyers (NHL), both Comcast Spectacor-owned franchises. A major multi-year renovation completed in 2021 rebuilt the concourse, added new clubs and premium spaces, and upgraded the seating bowl without changing the building's footprint. The arena floor converts between hardwood and ice between games and sometimes on back-to-back nights. The Sixers' deep-2010s playoff runs and the Flyers' rebuild years have both shaped the building's recent identity. The arena also hosts concerts, family shows, and the annual Wing Bowl successor events.
