(9,712 posts)Was originally the Corestates Center, that bank got bought out so it became the First Union Center...which lent itself to an unfortunate nickname so the bank changed its name to Wachovia and the arena was the Wachovia Center. Then that bank got bought out, it's now the Wells Fargo Center (for now).
Thankfully where the Phillies play (across the street) has been Citizens Bank Park since it opened in 2004.
