About
The Arena was a sports arena and auditorium used mainly for sporting events located at 46th and Market Streets in West Philadelphia from 1920 until 1983. The address of the building, originally named the Philadelphia Auditorium and Ice Palace, was 4530 Market Street. It was the longtime home to ice hockey in Philadelphia until the construction of the Spectrum in 1967, and the first home of the Philadelphia Warriors basketball team. The Arena was renamed the Martin Luther King Jr. Arena in 1980, in use until its closure in 1981, and was lost to arson in 1983.
