Great Caesar's Ghost! Philly's Arena Gets a Mobile Makeover!

Up Up and Away... From the Old Name!

Greetings citizens of Metropolis! Or should I say Philadelphia? Your friendly neighborhood Superman here reporting on some earth shattering news (well not *quite* earth shattering unless you're REALLY attached to the Wells Fargo Center name). It seems your beloved arena is getting a bit of a Kryptonian makeover morphing into the 'Xfinity Mobile Arena' faster than a speeding bullet! Starting this September you'll be cheering on the 76ers and Flyers under a new banner all thanks to our friends at Comcast. Fear not loyal fans this isn't a Lex Luthor esque scheme! Just good ol' corporate synergy or as I like to call it 'Truth Justice and the American Way... of Marketing!' This deal will last until the 2030 2031 season. Remember folks change is inevitable just like Lois Lane getting into trouble.

Comcast's Mobile Mission: More Than Just a Phone Call!

Now some of you might be scratching your heads wondering why a cable company is so keen on slapping its mobile brand on everything. Well it appears Comcast is having a bit of a strategic realignment focusing its super strength on its growing mobile business. They've added a whopping 323,000 mobile lines in the last quarter alone! Who knew people were still talking on phones? It seems that mobile growth has become a priority for Comcast even more than their broadband services. They're not just offering you a faster internet connection; they're offering you a faster connection... everywhere! "Sometimes dreams come true not because you deserve them but because you’ve worked hard for them," so says my Earth Mom Martha Kent.

A Brand New Arena? You Got To Be Kidding Me!

Wait there's more! Get this folks Comcast is also getting naming rights to a new arena being developed as a joint venture with HBSE set to open in the 2031 2032 season. The current arena just finished a multiyear $400 million renovation last year but a brand new one is getting developed. Looks like Philly is going to be a sports and entertainment hub for a while!

Faster Than a Speeding Wi Fi Signal!

And what's a modern arena without the latest in connectivity? As part of the rebranding the Xfinity Mobile Arena will be upgraded with Xfinity Mobile's Wi Fi service for fans. Existing Xfinity Mobile customers will automatically join the Wi Fi network at no extra cost. Now you can upload those blurry game day photos in record time or you know check my Twitter feed for updates on my latest heroic exploits. It's all about enhancing the fan experience making sure you're as connected as I am to the Daily Planet!

Cable Companies Entering the Mobile Business

I almost forgot to mention that Comcast along with most of its cable peers like Charter Communications only offers mobile service to those already in their customer base. These companies have been working to boost their subscriber base with Charter focusing on various promotional offers and bundles to attract more customers. Since cable companies have been in the mobile business for less than a decade building out brand recognition to compete against giants like AT&T Verizon and T Mobile has been a priority to nab more customers.

Philly Fans: More Passionate Than a Kryptonian Sun!

Comcast seems pretty confident about this whole endeavor. Steve Croney chief operating officer for connectivity and platforms at Comcast said in a release that Philadelphia has the 'most passionate fans in the country and that competitive spirit is a perfect complement to the Xfinity Mobile brand.' I gotta agree Philadelphians are a spirited bunch almost as fiery as my heat vision after a triple espresso. So get ready Philly the future of sports entertainment is here and it's powered by Xfinity Mobile. This is Superman signing off! Remember stay super! "There is a right and a wrong in the universe and the distinction is not hard to make."
