Spectrum Ice Preserved in Limited Edition Coasters

Looking for that last minute gift for a Flyers fan?

When the Spectrum hosted its final hockey game in April of 2009, Comcast-Spectacor preserved portions of the ice sheet and melted it in two 55-gallon containers. The Spectrum hockey rink (melted ice) was shipped to Chicago, IL, where it was separated and preserved into mini, freezable drink coasters. The limited edition drink coasters are now on sale at $13.50 per coaster at the Fan Gear store inside the Wachovia Center or for $15 online at RememberTheSpectrum.com.

Comcast-Spectacor is also selling the seats from the Spectrum. A pair of seats can be reserved for $395 while a single seat can be reserved for $295. The Spectrum folding chairs will also be available for $195. A
portion of the proceeds benefits the Comcast-Spectacor Foundation.

In addition to owning seats from the Spectrum, fans can also purchase the complete photographic history of the Spectrum entitled "God Bless the Spectrum" for $24.95 or a 3"x5" piece of the basketball court on an
8"x10" plaque for $76 or a 10"x10" piece on a 16"x20" plaque for  $176 at RememberTheSpectrum.com.

Demolition of the Spectrum, which is expected in the spring, will make way for Philly Live, a spectacular new retail, restaurant, and entertainment district. Cordish Company, of Baltimore, MD, a world-renowned developer of similar projects throughout North America, is partnering with Comcast-Spectacor in Philly Live.
