[ROINJNews] First look: Rendering of potential Sixers arena in Camden released — and it’s spectacular

  1. What if Philly just buys the city of Camden and makes it also Philly? Can we just do that? Take some of NJ?

  2. Those pavilions outside only really work in warm-weather areas where chances of rain are low… imagine having to work in a ticket booth outside the stadium in early January? Nahhh

  3. It’s not near any public transit. The city hall patco stop is too far away people will not want to make that walk after night games.

  4. Looks fine by me, fuck the idiots who are against the Market East location and then bitch about this too.

    If it came to fruition, they should totally run a small ferry service on game days between that pier that juts out in the pic and the race street pier. Super easy access for those living on the east side of downtown or taking the subway to 2nd and Market St station. You could also add a stop at penn’s landing if it makes sense.

  5. Zero transit access, lmao. Closest PATCO stop is what a mile away? Also, have fun getting on and off Ben Franklin with game traffic. Insane location, basically fucks anyone on the PA side of the river.

  6. I liked the CC rendering better. It had defined edges and actually felt modern compared to this idea which feels like it’s trying to be modern.

    There is a lot of space behind those buildings, so there should be plenty of room for parking. Between that and the Patco and River Line being right there, it should be easy to get to. 

  7. The steps are convenient for walking straight into the fucking Delaware after another 2nd round failure.

  8. Hope the NIMBYs are happy. We get to “preserve” Chinatown now instead of developing our city.

  9. That water access gonna have to be cordoned off after what this teams done to us over all these years. Unless they plan on hiring life guards

  10. Inb4 drunk fights on the 45 minute walk back over Ben result in numerous murders

    Seriously tho, unless there’s a plan (or even concepts of a plan 😁) for some sort of mass ferry or direct public transport, what’s the point of this?

  11. Hard to say this isn’t happening compared to the steep uphill climb to get anything built in CC. NJ will practically give it to them for free.

  12. I feel like this is all a leverage play to get the Chinatown space approved.

    I just can’t believe they’d actually leave Philly.

  13. If the only way for the Sixers to win a Championship is to move to Jersey, would you be cool with it?

  14. Christ, that looks like Miami, but even more of a traffic nightmare. Didn’t think that was possible. Keep Philly in Philly

    Sincerely,

    A Philly fan that lives in Jersey

  15. The franchise owning an arena in Philly is what, a billion dollars more valuable than owning an arena in Camden?

    Are the money hungry ducks that own this team ever going to settle for that?

  16. I wouldn’t call this spectacular. The only thing that’s cool is that it’s on the river. The rest looks basic.
