That’s it. It’s over. Once again.

Comcast-Spectacor announced this morning, “This will be the final year of the Spectrum.”

They should at least give us 10 years to grieve after losing another beloved Philadelphia landmark. Yes, I speak of the razed Veterans Stadium. That video is still tough to watch.

But, the Spectrum will be following suit. For the news side of things, check out Broad & Cecil.

The Spectrum is outta here to make way for a huge entertainment complex, likely to include restaurants, shops, a hotel and much more.

It’s been dwarfed by its cousins in recent years, which began with the building of the Wachovia Center in 1996. The Linc and Citizens Bank Park just make its 18,000-person capacity seem miniscule. But it’s history that matters.

The Flyers and 76ers called the building home from 1967 to 1996 before moving to the Wachovia Center. The Flyers won their first Stanley Cup there in 1974, and the Sixers hosted many playoff and finals games inside, also.

Don’t worry. I’ll link the YouTube video that shows the demolition as soon as I can. Granted, it’ll be in 2009, so cherish this final year, will you?
