Why track Philadelphia Arena attendance?
If your stub says Philadelphia Arena or Philadelphia Auditorium and Ice Palace, that is this West Philadelphia building — it is gone, demolished in 1983. Warriors nights here run November 1, 1946 through March 22, 1962. Those games live on the Golden State Warriors game tracker. Oracle Arena is a later Oakland barn, not a rename of this one. Convention Hall is a different Philadelphia building.
A Warriors stub from Philadelphia Arena is not a Convention Hall night and not an Oakland ticket. Ticket Timeline helps you pin each game you attended in this building to the real matchup and roster.
- Log Warriors home games you personally attended in this building—1946 through 1962 in Ticket Timeline's data.
- Match tickets printed Philadelphia Auditorium and Ice Palace to this same building.
- Keep Convention Hall tickets on that separate West Philadelphia building used by the 76ers.
- Count those games toward your wider NBA venue progress.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
