The ‘What’s Its Name’ Center gets another one

Say goodbye Wachovia Center.

The arena of many names is being relabeled the Wells Fargo Center starting today.

Wachovia, which owned the building's naming rights, was bought out by Wells Fargo Corp. in 2008.

The 21,000-seat South Philadelphia arena - home to both the Flyers and the 76ers - opened as the Corestates Center in 1996 before becoming the First Union Center in 1998 and the Wachovia Center in 2003, as one bank swallowed up the other.

Workers are slated to begin removing the Wachovia Center sign from the arena today and the transition to the Wells Fargo Fargo Center is expected to be completed by Sept. 14, when Lady Gaga performs the first of two sold out shows at the venue, says Comcast-Spectacor, the arena's owners.
