Originally branded as the Core States Center - and later as the Wachovia Center - the facility began hosting Villanova games in 1996-97. Prior to that, the Wildcats had used The Spectrum as a home court for selected home games each season. With the Finneran Pavilion undergoing a renovation in 2017-18, the Wells Fargo Center served as the Wildcats homecourt in its NCAA championship season. The Wildcats hosted 12 games at the Center, posting an 11-1 record that included a sellout crowd of 20,603 for the Wildcats’ 86-76 victory over Butler on Feb. 10, 2018. The Wildcats were 4-3 at the Center in 2019-20, including a 56- 55 victory over No. 1 Kansas on Dec. 22. Villanova twice played before sellout crowds of more than 20,000. Due to COVID-19, Nova played all nine home games on campus in 2020-21. In addition to hosting the Wildcats, the facility has served as an NCAA Tournament site five times in its history (2001, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2016). The Wells Fargo Center has undergone upgrades of its own in the offseason. It serves as the home of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers. The Center hosted the 2001 NBA Finals, the 2002 NBA All-Star Game and the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. The building features a unique oval design which ensures no obstructed view seats for all 20,456 fans. It also houses the studios of NBC Sports Philadelphia (formerly known as Comcast SportsNet).
