The Philadelphia Arena!

I know the best Steak and Cheese are in the City of Brotherly Love, and so were some great venues for Professional Wrestling!
Market street was alive and well with fans waiting to see WWWF and NWA matches and stars like Stan Stasiak who in 1973 won the WWWF Championship!
This old arena had flavor, it was used for Roller Derby as well, and notable speakers were honored here with their presence.
While arenas today are massive, older arenas became part of the event and was home to the events.

Courtesy of Superstock.com, you can see the marquee  was very prominent for passerby's to see and get their tickets early.
Check us out next week as we travel around the country looking at these great homes to Professional Wrestling.
Many of the old stadiums and arenas have met the demolition ball, but they will live on here at Classic Professional Wrestling!!
