"Wachovia Center" news and stories

When I was a kid, my dad and a couple of his friends had season tickets to see the Portland State Vikings. I would frequently go along even though I had very little interest in football. I was there pure and simply for the food. For the nachos and the popcorn, the hot chocolate and the ice cream. We didn't get much in the way of junk food in my house, but my dad was always willing to shell out for a few treats at the game.

The Wachovia Center in Philadelphia is offering a deal that would have mightily appealed to my young self. They are selling "all you can eat" packages for Flyers and 76ers games that includes hot dogs, soft drinks, popcorn, nacho chips and salsa. Not particularly good for the waistline but very nice for the fans of the junk food.
