The name on the contract does say Philadelphia, however the contract reads Philadelphia, Mississippi.
The right decision despite the Comcast astroturfing and NIMBYing
Common sense prevails! Very excited about this. Big W for the City and SEPTA.
What time does the public transport cult meet on the El to celebrate?
Let’s gooo. 6 blocks from me
Center city rules
LFG!
The Sixers stay in the city, SEPTA will get increased funding, union workers will get jobs, and we can eat Chinatown food before games.
Numerous other cities have figured this out with traffic and public transportation. I just don’t understand the “I’m not going because I can’t drive there” crowd.
Absolutely the best and correct move for the city
Man was really hoping they were going to move out here to Lancaster….
I can’t wait for this to be studied in sports management classes decades from now, because this is literally either going to be a logistical nightmare for the city with a bunch of empty promises, or it will actually revitalize the area while giving a massive boost to Septa and totally transform how everyone commutes to Sixers’ games.
There’s just no way this ends up with a middling outcome. It either works or it won’t.
Patco train into town!
A 76er who can afford multiple residences leases space in Liberty Place, rolls out of bed, gets on the El, and in 2 stops, puts up 20 and 10.
Technically possible at the current site but this seems even closer
I prefer having everything in the stadium complex but hopefully the new arena is nice
LET’S GO PENNSYLVANIA 🥨🥨🥨🧀🥩🔔🔔🔔
I know the Chinatown crowd doesn’t want the stadium. But the food/restaurants/bars there would see such an increase in business on game days. Especially on those slow weekdays.
Hell yeah. Get rid of that 2000s outdated fashion district and give us a state of the art downtown arena. Fuck Camden. Fuck the nimbys who think Chinatown will be crushed by this (it won’t)
Finally she does something right
Sixers games are actually going to a short drive to the R7 and one train ride away
I don’t care that it’s leaving south Philly we have the flyers who eventually be good again playing in that building. We are one of the few major cities without a stadium in the center of the city. This will make the before and after experience so much more enjoyable.
I work in Center City so it’ll be nice to just clock out, go to a happy hour and still being able to walk to the stadium.
Yay, Comcast’s death grip on the city politicians wasn’t able to win out here.
As a UK-based Sixers fan, would anybody be able to explain why the Center City location is pissing people off so much? Genuinely just curious.
Can’t wait for game nights downtown. Don’t have to go to Xfinity
Parking is off the menu boys. Hope SEPTA steps it up

Additionally: [Mayor Parker will support a Sixers arena in Center City.](https://x.com/JeffColeFox29/status/1836473010515038324)
This was obviously going to be the outcome
Traffic to this thing is going to be glorious.
