Globetrotters to Play for the Last Time at Philadelphia’s Wachovia Spectrum

HGT logo.pdfTo the Harlem Globetrotters, this will mark their first appearance at the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia. However, it looks like it may also be their last since the said stadium as the 42-year-old building is scheduled to be razed later this year.

The game will mark the team’s final appearance at the famous Spectrum — either inside it or on top of it — as the 42-year-old building is scheduled to be razed later this year. The team will return to the Philadelphia area later that week for games on Saturday, March 7 (at Temple University’s Liacouras Center at 1:00 p.m. and Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, N.J. at 7:30 p.m.) and Sunday, March 8 at Philadelphia’s Wachovia Center (12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.).

“The Spectrum was a highlight of every tour for the Globetrotters for so many years, and we’re honored to come back and pay it our respects in unique Globetrotter fashion,” said team CEO Kurt Schneider. “We’ve played in so many unique venues over our history, and this game will surely add to that legacy. You might say we are ‘over the top’ excited to play on the roof.”

The Globetrotters first played at the Spectrum on December 2, 1967, shortly after the building first opened. The team continued to play at the Spectrum every year until 1997, when their annual Philadelphia tour stop moved across the parking lot to the Wachovia Center.
