7. Wells Fargo Center (Philadelphia, PA)

Opened: 1996

Capacity: 19,306 (Hockey)

ASGs Hosted: 0

Special Features: Shares a parking lot with Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles.

While Philadelphia has hosted 2 NHL All-Star Games in 1976 and 1992, Wells Fargo Center has yet to host the exhibition itself. Having hosted Stanley Cup Final Games (1997 & 2010), NBA Final Games (2001), NBA All-Star Game (2002), and the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, it only seems fitting to add the NHL All-Star Game to the list.

The Philadelphia Flyers and the Philadelphia area have a ravaging hockey following and hosting the event would surely draw well as it pertains to attendance.
