Molson elected not to keep the naming rights when they sold the team and the name was officially changed on September 1, 2002, after Bell Canada acquired the naming rights.

Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA
NHL Home of the:  Philadelphia Flyers

PHILADELPHIA, PA:  The Wells Fargo Center is an indoor arena located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The arena was formerly known as Spectrum II (prior to construction), CoreStates Center, First Union Center and Wachovia Center. The arena was completed in 1996, on what was once the site of John F. Kennedy Stadium (originally Philadelphia Municipal Stadium) at a cost of $206 million, largely privately financed (though the city and state helped to pay for the local infrastructure). The building lies at the southwest corner of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, which comprises its predecessor for several sports teams, the Spectrum, Lincoln Financial Field, and Citizens Bank Park.

It is the home arena of the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League, the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association, the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League, and the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League.
