Wachovia Complex Press Release

Sports fans attending one of the three sporting events at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex on Friday, April 11, are encouraged to arrive earlier than usual to enjoy the free Bud Light Block Party at the Wachovia Complex, beginning at 4 p.m.

The Philadelphia 76ers will host the Indiana Pacers at the Wachovia Center beginning at 7 p.m. while the Philadelphia Phantoms will host the Hershey Bears at the Wachovia Spectrum at 7 p.m. and the Phillies will host the Chicago Cubs at Citizens Bank Park at 7:05 p.m.

The Block Party, which is free and open to anyone holding a ticket for any of the three events on Friday at the Sports Complex, is a fun way to beat the crowd and enjoy live music, interactive games and food and drink specials.

“There will be plenty of parking for everyone,” said Comcast-Spectacor President Peter Luukko. “We are encouraging all fans to arrive earlier than usual and to consider using alternative methods of arriving at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The Block Party is a great way for fans to have fun before the game, especially those arriving early.”
