It was built to replace the now-demolished Veterans Stadium (a football/baseball facility) and is the home of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. The ballpark features natural grass and a dirt playing field. There are many philly style restururants there including some that feature cheesesteaks. Behind center field is Ashburn Alley, named after Phillies great and hall of famer Richie Ashburn. It is a walkway featuring restururants and memorabilia from Phillies history. Lincoln Financial Field The Linc, is the home stadium of the National Football League's Philadelphia Eagles. It has the seating capacity of 68,532. The stadium replaced the old Veterans Field after over two years of construction, and while the total capacity was barely changed, it doubled the amount of luxury and wheelchair-accessible seats, as well as introduced other more modern services. The stadium opened on August 8, 2003 with a preseason friendly match between European soccer giants Manchester United and FC Barcelona. Some matches in the FIFA Women's World Cup for soccer were also played there in 2003. Temple University's Division I-A college football team also plays home field games at Lincoln Financial Field, paying the Eagles $6 million a year to do so. The 2003 Army-Navy football game was played at the stadium, and the stadium is scheduled to host more in the future. Wachovia Center The Wachovia Center - capacity 19,519 (formerly known as the CoreStates Center and the First Union Center) is an indoor arena located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is home to the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA, the Philadelphia Wings of the NLL, the Philadelphia Flyers of the NHL, and the Philadelphia Soul of the AFL. Due to the 2004-2005 NHL Lockout, on occasion the Philadelphia Phantoms will play in the arena. The arena was completed in 1996 at a cost of $206 million, largely privately financed (though the city and state helped to pay for the local infrastructure). The arena seats 21,600 for basketball and 19,519 for hockey. It has 126 luxury suites and 1,880 club seats. The arena was originally named for CoreStates Bank, which agreed to pay $40 million over 21 years for the naming rights, with additional terms to be settled later for an additional eight year period at the end of the contract. The naming rights were taken by First Union Bank in a merger in 1997 and then by Wachovia Bank in a 2003 merger with First Union. The arena replaced the Spectrum, which still stands nearby and is used by the Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, and the MISL Philadelphia Kixx. The Wachovia Center was built on the site of JFK Stadium.
