PrintI just walked around the Wachovia Center and took a few photos. The crew clearly has the building decked out for the Stanley Cup Final. Several photos after the jump, but we start with the t-shirt that will be handed out to fans in attendance tonight.
Plenty more after the jump.
The floor of the 11th Street Atrium:
Above fan gear in the 11th Street Atrium:
Sections 222 and 222A have been blocked off to accommodate the extra press. There are about six rows above in 222A where fans will be seated though. I'm sitting here, and I'm pumped about it.
The Flyers are already winning, apparently (was just a test, of course):
Finally, a few more wide shots of the rink:
Who's ready for some hockey?

I think the t-shirts are getting worse and worse? Anyone else? Maybe I’m just a design snob and jealous b/c I don’t get to make them.
I wish I was there so bad.

i was thnking the same thing...
wasn’t grunge design put to rest, back in 1999?
oh well. Should be a spectacular game tonight. That’s what really matters.
They were at their best in 2004. I think it’s time to put to rest all the different mottos & slogans with each game. Just give out a shirt with the Flyers logo on it or something
"Can Geico really save you 15% or more on your car insurance? Is Mike Green really a forward in defenseman's clothing"
the flyers have such a great logo...
that this would be the best idea, IMO.
If you are a season ticket holder how many orange shirts with a Flyers logo do you want. This way you gotta catch’em all.
Haha, my girlfriend’s mom was over the other day and was wondering what was with the pile of orange in the corner. It was all of the Flyers T-shirts from this season, which I really can’t wear since they insist on XL’s, so they get piled in the corner and eventually put away as keepsakes. I wish some actually fit, I really liked the “Together We Fight” one.
Come on
You guys are crazy thats a bad ass shirt. Hey if anyone is going and doesn’t want it I’ll gladly pay ten beans for a large.

Putting Kate on a shirt is awesome, don’t get me wrong but what does the tagline have to do with the image? I mean something like “HOME ICE ADVANTAGE” or something would be much better.
Btw, they only have XL shirts at games, one size fits most.

As someone who orders promotional items for a living, the idea of having to do size breakdowns and having to hand mass influx of ppl sizes they ask for upon entering is enough to make me call in sick for work.

Oh i’m not criticizing the Flyers at all. It makes the most sense given average size of Americans and eliminating a backlog of people just after the ticket turnstiles. My gf hates that they’re so huge but then she does cool things like cuts out the sides and ties them together so it looks really cute. She’s pretty awesome.

I get chills seeing the “Stanley Cup Finals” on the ice next to the logos…
I'm now Kolb's biggest fan

This is the year
I have Journey stuck in my head.
BROAD STREET, BELIEVIN;
HOLD ON TO THAT FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELIN
This station is non-operational.
I love Journey, sue me, but it’s overplayed now since the sporting world took hold of it. Of course, if you’ve seen the movie “Monster,” you might have different opinion on the song.

I have not seen Monster…just was never a big Journey fan. To each their own :)

I was leaving the Wach to get lunch a few hours ago and they were doing a sound check… with Don’t Stop Believin and that Black Eyed Peas song.

So Travis, what are the press guidelines you have to follow? Like, if the Flyers score, you can’t cheer (or curse if the Blackhawks score), right? I don’t think I could handle that.
Well, I’m in the auxiliary box, so I’m practically in the crowd. And I’m at the end of a row, so I’m like… virtually in the crowd. Which is totally amazing… it’s essentially a free seat in the stands to a Cup Final game. But uh… yeah, technically can’t cheer or anything like that.
But I can mask it well.

Dammit, I miss going to games IN Philly. I’ve only been to a handful since I moved away for college. I more or less only see the Flyers when they come down twice a year to play the Caps. Of course, being there in person for our Game 7 OT win over the Caps was pretty damn sweet. People on the street yelling “GO HOME” at me and I’m like “I am home!”
Watched all three Mighty Ducks movies today
maybe we need some Quack attack and Duck magic
