76ers want new arena in Center City, Philadelphia

[Controversy]

Right. I understand that. But they’ll still be the Philadelphia 76ers. I don’t think where the arena is located makes that much of a difference.

The city loses tax revenue...it makes a huge diff

Camden is NJ...guarantee no one will travel to NJ if the team isn't good

And last time I was in Center City at night there was dozens of teens on demonic timing ransacking Wawas and mobbing and that’s regular completely unacceptable in a downtown

Philly needs to get their fukking shyt together

Camden.

Is Philly the only multi-team market with no downtown stadiums?

Sports Complex (where all of the stadiums/arena is located) is in South Philly, about a 10-15 drive or subway ride from Center City.

I still think this is a fake out. They're putting pressure on the new Philly mayor to fold.

In response to recent reporting about the Sixers and New Jersey, Comcast-Spectacor Chairman and CEO Dan Hilferty shared the following statement:

“We firmly believe that the best outcome for our fans and the community is the 76ers and Comcast-Spectacor, united and based in South Philadelphia.
To that end, we continue to offer the 76ers a 50/50 partnership of the Wells Fargo Center and have been clear that we’re open to building a new arena together at the right time.
The door will always be open for the 76ers and we sincerely hope together we can create a vision for what’s best for Philadelphia.”

Fck that...the Sixers need their own arena

If we want to be a world class city, we need an arena downtown

Phillies got bullied into staying in SP...their stadium should've been at 12th & Vine or Broad & Spring Garden

World class cities dedicate their downtowns to transit hubs and museums, not sports arenas.

We got regional rail, trollies, sub, El, buses and Patco all downtown



Nobody wanna go to south Philly for a fkn concert

I spent the first 21 years of my life split between New Jersey and Pennsylvania so I'm happy with whatever they choose

Good. Now what did I say?

This is the Berlin Central Station:

American cities need more spaces like this for people to move about and also connect transit, and not a damn sports arena for a billionaire to collect.
