Comcast-Spectacor to leave Spectrum: Luukko

"This is our last season at the Spectrum," says Comcast-Spectacor c.o.o. Peter Luukko. What's next for the former Sixers-Flyers home? Baltimore developer Cordish Co. "is still going through the permitting process and cost estimating" for PhillyLive, the hotel and shopping development proposed to replace the Spectrum last winter. 
  (There's also been speculation it could make a good site for one of the proposed gambling halls that have been controversially planned for the Delaware River waterfront.)
  "We have no details on the time frame of the start of PhillyLive," Luukko said. He's hoping for next June. But before the end, "we can do some neat events. We'll play a 76ers regular-season game, and a Flyers preseason game. And we're working with Electric Factory Concerts."
  The Spectrum will be demolished, Comcast-Spectacor boss Ed Snider said. Story here.
