NHL game night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, home of the Philadelphia Flyers. For a concert here, start from the concert night plan instead: a support act sets the deadline rather than the anthem.

Ready Time
You know what you need to do. Ready Time helps you know when to start.
Start times here are the team's own. The NHL sells no national window, so a game goes on when the building and the market suit and there is nothing to convert from Eastern. These are the slots this team plays most often.
These are Xfinity Mobile Arena’s own times. The team publishes start times with the schedule in the summer and the same opponent can be a one o’clock one week and a seven o’clock the next, so take the time on your ticket over the one you remember.
Holiday games, a nationally televised night and the playoffs run their own times, and a handful each season start half an hour or an hour either side of the usual slot. Type those in on the puck drop row.
Almost everything arrives on Broad Street: the Broad Street or Sports Complex exit off I-95 in either direction and off the Walt Whitman Bridge, or 76 east and then south on Broad from the Turnpike. The train is the honest alternative on a weeknight, because the Broad Street Line runs to NRG Station at Pattison Avenue, the last stop, and the arena is the first of the three venues you reach from it.
From the Market-Frankford Line, change to the Broad Street Line southbound in Center City. Bus routes 4 and 17 come down here too. When something at a neighboring stadium overlaps, the complex fills from the outside in.
The arena stands in the middle of the South Philadelphia sports complex with its own ring of lettered lots, shared with the stadiums either side when both are busy. It is self-park and no longer cash: cards, prepaid cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and booking ahead through SpotHero is usually cheaper than the gate.
You can drop passengers at any building entrance before going to find a space, and accessible parking sits next to the entrances on the east, west and south sides. Lyft has a pick-up lot of its own in Lot D, at the southeast corner. The lots on the 11th Street side put you at that entrance in a few minutes and the outer ones are a longer walk in and a longer crawl out.
Bag rules are the arena's own here and they run from a wallet-sized clutch to a bag that fits under your seat. Getting it wrong usually means walking back to the car and re-entering the line.
Check current sizes and door times on the official Xfinity Mobile Arena guest guide before you go, because the door time moves for the odd date that opens ninety minutes out instead.
Doors open an hour before the puck drops, which is what most Flyers dates on the arena’s own calendar run, with the odd one at ninety minutes. Screening is either a walk-through metal detector or the frictionless kind depending on the night, and with the detectors a full pocket costs you a second and slower search.
Bags divide into three: a clutch or wristlet up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches walks straight in, anything up to 14 by 14 by 6 goes through an x-ray at the bag doors on Broad Street, 11th Street or the Premium Access Entrance, and backpacks and big multi-compartment bags are refused. There are lockers on the 11th Street side for those. Once your ticket is scanned there is no re-entry.
Xfinity Mobile Arena was previously called Wells Fargo Center, so older directions and tickets may still use that name.
Doors, lots and bag rules change; the official site is the live source.
Doors open about an hour before puck drop here; that is when the crowd starts arriving, not when you have to. Being through the doors about half an hour before puck drop covers screening, the walk to your section, and a stop on the concourse.
Work backward from puck drop: minutes in your seat beforehand, walk to your section, security screening, walk from the lot, parking, then the drive (30 minutes in the default plan). That puts leave-by at 5:44 PM for a 7:00 PM puck drop. Change the puck drop time and every row moves.
It is whatever the team has scheduled, and these are local times rather than a converted national window. On this arena's clock: a weekend matinee drops the puck at 1:00 PM, a night game at 7:00 PM, a later start at 7:30 PM. This example uses the night game window. Holiday games, nationally televised nights and playoff rounds run their own times; the puck drop row is editable for those.
The plan allows 10 minutes for a normal walk-through queue. It runs longer in the twenty minutes before puck drop. Arriving fifteen minutes off that peak is usually enough.
About an hour before puck drop here. It moves for a date the arena opens ninety minutes out instead. Check the official Xfinity Mobile Arena guest guide for your game.
Not in the lots here. If you are meeting people somewhere else, add that as a step and everything before it moves earlier.
Assume the limit is small. Check the arena's own page for current sizes. The timing risk is being turned around at the door and walking back to the car: the walk twice and a second trip through the queue.
Flying in? The airport pages. Taking Amtrak? The station pages. No stadium listed? The tailgate timeline is the same plan without a particular lot.
Start the plan in the app, and the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the time left, with a bar that fills as each step passes.
Glance at it on the walk in without opening the app.
Every step also gets its own alert, and sharing the plan gives whoever is driving the same leave time, with alerts on their phone.
