Name removed from Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia ahead of pending change to Xfinity Mobile Arena

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The name change for the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia is starting to take shape.

Crews removed the giant letters spelling out Wells Fargo Center on Thursday.

Under a new deal, the home of the Sixers and Flyers will become the Xfinity Mobile Arena this September.

The naming rights deal will run through the 2030-31 season.

A new venue to replace the Wells Fargo Center is set to open by 2031 .
