Hitting the Ice with the Flyers
The Philly Flyers bring fast paced action on the ice. The Philly Flyers are the third most popular team in the city of brotherly love and for good reason. Aggressive assertive shooting, lightning fast skating, checking, an unwillingness to back down with a history that dates back to the "Broad Street Bullies" of the '70s, give the Flyers one heck of a rep. The Flyers black and orange colors are as much a staple of the city as the cheesesteaks. The Wells Fargo Center, home of the Flyers, is the 4th largest hockey stadium in the NHL and with a massive 19,537 capacity. The stadium sells out so frequently that they end up using Standing Room Only. Indeed, Flyers fans enjoy the game more than just about any other franchise in the NHL.
