Fans who attend Flyers and Sixers games at the Wells Fargo Center will find new food and beverage options.
The Wells Fargo Center is welcoming back fans at 100% capacity after COVID-19 restrictions kept the game-day experience limited for more than a year. Fans will need to wear masks inside the arena, but they'll be allowed to take them off while eating and drinking.
The Wells Fargo Center will feature several new vendors this season. Additionally, Aramark, the arena's concessionaire, and existing vendors will offer new menu items.
"We want every single part of the fan experience at Wells Fargo Center to be top-notch, and that definitely includes great food and beverages," said Valerie Camillo, president of business operations for the Wells Fargo Center.
