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?
HoagieTwoFace
Welp. Better go to a game while theyâre still at the Fargo. Not going to center city.

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 donât understand the âIâm not going because I canât drive thereâ crowd.

Absolutely the best and correct move for the cityÂ
FancyRobot
I’m just happy the old arena will have an expiration date soon, was never anything special and it replaced the iconic Spectrum
Happyofiyo2
Man was really hoping they were going to move out here to LancasterâŠ.

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
How does person in south jersey use transit to get there.
LJaybe
It was way more convienent to just drive and pay to park this is a bummer that you have to take public transportation
yungtrapfatgag
Well deserved too! I love when multi billion dollar corporations can kick and scream there way into getting what they want! Praise to the supreme commander Josh Harris!

Camden is a sh**hole

So, renovation the new Philadelphia arena? Like build were the old vet was?

NJ trying to get the Sixers in Camden was like the super ugly dude flirting with the really hot girl. Also the dude is addicted to fent. Was never gonna happen.

I know the Chinatown crowd doesnât want the stadium. But the food/restaurants/bars there would see such an increase in business on game days. Especially on those slow weekdays.
Anonymustafar
Why would you not build another stadium in the already-existing ginormous stadium complex with perfect parking and access to public transportation? I have no idea
This will be a huge L for the city and the organization. Hardly anyone wants to take the stinky septa trains and busses to go to games. Not to mention, even if they did drive, that the area theyâre planning on building is absolutely not supportive of this level of traffic volume.
They want to be like the cool kids in the NBA and have a âcityâ stadium, I get it. But the stadium complex is one of the best things about living in Philadelphia. Hands down.
Chinatown is going to get wrecked, there will be massive traffic jams all the way down market st every game.
But sure, tell me again how this is a dream come true for septa and how everyone will gladly take public transport to a game.
This is asinine and only serves to enrich the ownership of the team at the cityâs expense.
jeppsforst
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 wonât)

Finally she does something right
Sixers games are actually going to a short drive to the R7 and one train ride away

I donât care that itâs 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.
Important-Yesterday6
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.
SlavaRapTarantino
Yay, Comcast’s death grip on the city politicians wasn’t able to win out here.
dpaanlka
I love all the people crying about their cars in here. I do agree they should stay in the south sports complex though.
nnewman19
ugh this sucks. really didnt like the center city idea. didn’t like camden more, but just really hated breaking the complex up. RIP
Longjumping-Delay-57
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.

Canât wait for game nights downtown. Donât have to go to Xfinity

Parking is off the menu boys. Hope SEPTA steps it up

So this means the end of the annual Christmas-New years Disney on ice road trip?
thegoodnamesrgone123
we have one of the best stadium setups in the country and the 76ers of course have to fuck that 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.
