From Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Daily News:

It was announced yesterday that the cozy Spectrum will be torn down following the 2008-09 indoor seasons. So here’s a look back at the 10 most memorable Spectrum moments . . . in one person’s eyes, of course:

10 Not exactly a great beginning for the new building when, on March 1, 1968, during an Ice Capades show, a portion of the roof blew off, forcing its closure for a month. The Sixers moved home games to Convention Hall and the Palestra. It wasn’t so easy for the first-year Flyers, who were forced to play five “home” games at Le Colisee in Quebec City, where their AHL affiliate Quebec Aces played, and one each at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens and New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Read the entire list here.

I know this list isn’t strictly hockey, but I figured I’d post it anyways.
