They about to built them apartment style loafs and make billions. All NBA teams are doing this

Privately funded?

Might be time to purchase some real estate down there

 

[Controversy]

Let me preface by stating, I'm not a Sixers fan

Sixers fans are already complaining about parking...Chinatown residents will complain too

To be a world class city, you need an arena downtown...NY, DC & Boston all have arenas in or near their downtown

I'm all for it...esp if it will make downtown more lively on non-weekend nights

I fukking love it ans wished the city didnt stop Phillies in the early 00s. City cant complain because this shyt will be privately funded by the billionaires. I always hated South Philly location let that shyt be swamp again

 

[MikelArteta]

Will the Flyers move as well?

Sounds like at the very least, Sixers want to have discussions with the Flyers about joining them:

no you don’t

One of the greatest myths in sports is you need an arena. You don’t.

Also, their arena was built in the 90s. It’s not Old.

who will pay for road construction? The train line? plumbing and electricity? gas? And will the owners get a tax break?

Until we see the details, we don’t know anything about who is paying for this stadium and the total cost.

This is one of the reasons they are moving. The train lines etc.. is already there. This what seperates NYC from other big cities like Philly Houston... Billionaires do their own funding for their construction. Philly never had that until now.

 

[hashmander]

that's why they highlight all the stations near the proposed arena. fukk parking.
