Hitting the Ice with the Flyers
The Flyers bring fast paced action on the ice. The Philly Flyers are the third most popular team in the city of brotherly love and for good reason. Aggressive lightning fast skating, assertive shooting, checking, an unwillingness to back down with a history that dates back to the "Broad Street Bullies" of the '70s, give the Flyers one heck of a rep. The Flyers black and orange colors are as much a staple of the city as the cheesesteaks. The Wells Fargo Center, home of the Flyers, is the 4th largest hockey stadium in the NHL with an almost 20,000 seat capacityy. The stadium sells out so frequently that they end up using Standing Room Only. Indeed, Flyers fans enjoy the game more than just about any other hockey franchise. The Flyers made it to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2010, and they're looking to do it again soon.
Making History with the 76ers
The 76ers share a stadium with the Flyers and bring furious basketball action to the big city. Blocking, dribbling, passing, shooting and scoring are a must as the 76ers are looking to get back in the NBA finals and get their first title since 1983. With famous names in history like Allen Iverson and the great Dr. J, the 76ers are a team with a rich history. Watching a game against rivals like the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, the 76ers will give it everything they've got.
A "Union" in Philly
Most people don't know that Philadelphia also has a wonderful soccer team, and is a widely accepted fifth sport. The Philadelphia Union plays for MLS and anyone who enjoys the game of "football" will enjoy watching the Union as they run up and down the pitch and pass, run and kick their way to victory. Few sports have the following all over the world as soccer, so why shouldn't soccer in Philadelphia be a part of the game?
