History Built on the site of JFK stadium, the Wachovia Center replaced the Spectrum as home to the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, the NLL’s Philadelphia Wings, the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, and the AFL’s Philadelphia Soul. Originally known as the CoreStates Center, the naming rights were taken over in a 1997 merger by First Union Bank, and then by Wachovia Bank in a 2003 merger.    The Center opened in mid-August of 1996 with a Ray Charles concert, but the first major event was later that month with a game between Team USA and Canada in the World Cup of Hockey. The Spectrum still exists and is used by the Philadelphia Phantoms (AHL) and MISL’s Philadelphia Kixx.
