Philadelphia Wings News Release
The Philadelphia Wings bring professional lacrosse back to the City of Brotherly Love when they face off against the Buffalo Bandits during the welcome home opener tomorrow Saturday, December 15 at 1 p.m. The Wings return to their official home at the Wells Fargo Center for the first time since the 2014 NLL season, after Comcast Spectacor acquired the NLL expansion franchise in 2017.
Prior to faceoff, the Wings will honor past franchise banner moments by raising a championship banner paying homage to the six Wings Championships (1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 1998, 2001), along with three individual arena banners commemorating Tom "Hollywood" Marechek (retired no. 42), Dallas Eliuk (retired no. 35), and Jake Bergey (retired no. 66).
PHL17 will serve as the exclusive television home for Philadelphia Wings Lacrosse, broadcasting all home games and a select number of away games. Booker Corrigan and Scott Gabrielsen will call the action, with Erin Dolan reporting on the sidelines.
To celebrate the Wings' return to Philadelphia for the 2018-19 season, a limited number of $18 welcome home opener tickets are available. Single game tickets are on sale now through WingsLAX.com or by phone at 215-952-LAX1.
