PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Han Dynasty, Buena Onda and $28 cheesesteaks with gold are coming to Wells Fargo Center in 2023-24.
Fans can get their first taste of the new food items beginning Tuesday night, when the Flyers face off against the Canucks in their home opener. Puck drop is scheduled for 6 p.m., moved up an hour to accommodate a busy night in South Philadelphia.
