Controversy Erupts as Wells Fargo Center Removes 'Immortal' Commemorative Bricks
The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia has removed hundreds of commemorative bricks that fans had purchased over the past 27 years. The bricks, which were advertised as "rocks of immortality," were sold to fans as a way to own a piece of the arena's walkway. Some of the bricks were removed in 2019 due to wear and tear, while others are being replaced as part of the arena's ongoing transformation project. The arena plans to create a new display for fans who purchased bricks, but specific details have not been announced. Fans are disappointed as the bricks held sentimental value and represented memories of games and good times.
