The Spectrum's Long Goodbye

I've never been a huge fan of Delco Times columnist Jack McCaffery, but he's dead on in Sunday's column, about how the demise of the Spectrum has dragged on for a ridiculously long time:

That’s in case you didn’t catch the announcement, or the Globetrotters game on the roof, or the last hockey game, or the other last hockey game, or the last college basketball game, or the last pro basketball game, or the TV documentary, or the last Sixers practice, or the open walk-through of the joint Saturday... If a landlord believes it fit to knock a joint down, then do it and get out of the way. Just stop beating people over the head with so many tributes that a hardhat becomes necessary.
I went to that "last hockey game"- which was over a year ago, I believe. The Spectrum will "close"- I think- with a concert by Pearl Jam next week, although there have been at least 10 different shows, at various times, billed as "the last concert ever at the Spectrum."

At last there was a good excuse for there being so many different "last baseball games ever at the Metrodome."
