The Democratic National Convention is at the Wells Fargo Center this week, and that makes for weird photo ops -- like this one, with a Secret Service agent standing guard outside of the Flyers locker room.

Watching an event like this in our home building is always really bizarre, whether it's the DNC this year or the RNC back in 2000. If you look closely, the building does still kinda look like home -- any time I look at the red seats I can almost feel my feet sticking to 20 years worth of beer on the concrete floor -- but for a political convention, they've removed basically anything that gives the building unique character.
