To give you an idea what the view of the court is like from section 217, here is a Youtube video shot from there during a 76ers/Miami Heat game at the Wells Fargo Center.
I've sat here in section 217 for both Flyers and Sixers home games and I can tell you that these seats are much better for Flyers games. If you look closely at the floor, you will notice that the bottom level was built for hockey and the seating suggests that it was as well because the end zone seats sit so far back from the court. The basketball court is tiny compared to the ice. So fans definitely suffer in this section when it comes to watching basketball. It's hard to get it right in multi purpose arenas like the Wells Fargo Center.
