The corporation had put 15,000 seats in Philadelphia's Spectrum, a Wolman-constructed, $12.5 million sports arena. If Wolman's 300 other creditors follow American Seating's example, the chain-smoking entrepreneur, who values his assets at $92 million and his liabilities at more than $85 million, could be wiped out.
