Allergy Info, Free Water & Family Dining Notes

🌿

Wells Fargo Center concessions can accommodate gluten-free, nut-free, and vegetarian requests at most stands. Shake Shack has a published allergen menu. Ask any concession stand for ingredient lists — staff are trained on the top-8 allergens. Mordy's Kosher stand is available on the Main Concourse.

💧

Free Water

Wells Fargo Center Restroom Busy Times

When restroom lines peak and when you will walk straight in. Timing your restroom visit at Wells Fargo Center can save 10+ minutes of standing in line.

By Event Timeline

Gates Pre P1 Int. P2 Int. P3

Peak during intermissions (hockey) and halftime (basketball). Lines on Main Concourse can exceed 10 minutes. Upper Concourse stays manageable. Best time: early in the 2nd period/quarter.

By Event Type & Season

Flyers games (Oct-Apr): Two intermissions create two peak rushes. Upper Concourse is key.
76ers games (Oct-Apr): Halftime is the single biggest rush. Q2 start is ideal.
Concerts: Pre-show and immediately post-show. During the show, lines drop dramatically.
WWE/UFC: Shorter breaks between bouts mean more consistent traffic. Go during undercard fights.

Weekday vs Weekend: Weekend events draw bigger crowds and longer lines. Tuesday/Wednesday games are easiest.

💡 Pro tip: During concerts and special events, the Upper Concourse restrooms at either end of the arena have the shortest lines all night. Most concert-goers stay on the Main Concourse. Walk upstairs, use the facilities, and walk back down. The detour takes 3 minutes total vs. a 10-minute line.

Wells Fargo Center Insider Tips

Local knowledge that will make your 76ers or Flyers game day significantly better.

💡

Upper Concourse for Short Lines

Head to the 200 level for shorter restroom lines. Most fans stay on the Main Concourse — the upper level is consistently less crowded, especially during intermissions.

⏰

Skip the Intermission Rush

Avoid restrooms during intermissions (hockey) or halftime (basketball). Go early in the 2nd period/quarter instead. Lines at intermission can stretch 10+ minutes at Main Concourse locations.

🚇

Take the Subway

The SEPTA Broad Street Line to NRG Station is genuinely the best way to get here. 14 minutes from City Hall, $2.50 fare, 1-minute walk to the arena. Avoid the parking headache entirely.

🚪

Arrive Early for Food

Gates typically open 1.5-2 hours before events. The best arena food (Chickie's & Pete's, Campo's, Federal Donuts) has long lines by game time. Arrive early, eat first, then find your seat.

🍴

Pre-Game at Xfinity Live!

Xfinity Live! is the best pre-game spot in Philadelphia. Five bars/restaurants, massive screens, and atmosphere. 5-minute walk to the arena. Get there 2+ hours before the game for the full experience.

📱

Mobile Tickets Only

Wells Fargo Center uses mobile-only ticketing. Download your tickets to your phone's wallet before arriving. Make sure your phone is charged — charging stations are available inside the arena.

🧢

Clear Bag Policy

The arena enforces a clear bag policy. Bags must be clear plastic/vinyl not exceeding 12" x 6" x 12", or a small clutch (4.5" x 6.5"). Exceptions for diaper bags and medically necessary items with inspection.

💰

Cashless Arena

🚶

Walk the Sports Complex

Wells Fargo Center, Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, and Xfinity Live! are all within a 10-minute walk of each other. It's one of the most concentrated sports districts in the USA.

🌡

Summer Heat Strategy

Summer concerts and events can be brutal getting to the arena across the open parking lots. Arrive early and head straight inside for air conditioning. Bring a sealed water bottle through security — stay hydrated on the walk from Lot C. The arena's AC is excellent once inside.

👶

Kids at Hockey Games

Flyers games are loud and intense — bring ear protection for young children, especially during goal celebrations. The Mamava suite near Section 116 is a quiet escape if your toddler gets overwhelmed. Family restrooms near Guest Services have the most space for diaper changes.

📱

Download the Arena App

The Wells Fargo Center app lets you order food from your seat (mobile ordering), upgrade seats, and find restrooms. Order food during the 1st period and pick it up at intermission — skip the food line entirely.

Water & Hydration at Wells Fargo Center
