Here's what some Philly.com readers had to say about the Spectrum:

"My best Spectrum memories include my 1st concert (Blue Oyster Cult!), three Stanley Cup final runs ('85 & '87 & '97), witnessing every single game ever played by Wayne Gretzky in Philly (regular season and playoffs), and seeing Eric Clapton on four occasions."

- Ticogringomike

"Just knock it down already and let's move on."

- fortunateson

"Saw Springsteen at the Spectrum the night after John Lennon was shot. Best concert I ever saw. Played Twist and Shout for what seemed like 10-15 minutes. Good bye Spectrum."

- SJDevilBoy

"We used to wait for the Flyer players to come out down stairs, always talked to Dorny, Clarkie, Hound and, of course, The Hammer!!! I still remember Forbes Kennedy. So does that mean Franklin Field is all that's left?"

- sarah89

"My first concert: Tom Petty & Heartbreakers. My first Flyers game: on my 11th birthday vs. Nordiques. Good times. RIP Spectrum..."

- toph314

"I remember my father driving me to the Spectrum when I was a kid. This was when Dr. J was slamming and Bobby Clarke dominated the ice. But what I remember most vividly is riding in my father's AMC Pacer, and his purple polyester leisure suit with an orange shirt that had a pelican stitched on the back. Fond memories."
