I despise Josh Harris getting his way. It’s nauseating. He doesn’t give a flying f*** about the city.People love this over on the philadelphia subreddit

As an out-of-towner I would much rather see the Sixers in the CC area than the S Philly area. More options for staying overnight and more to do before and after the game. Seems like there is always opposition to this kind of thing and then once it's done everyone likes it.
Well if they don't trade it, they do have that Clippers pick in 2028 from the Harden trade that could net a high lottery pick....Not surprising. The lack of political creativity in this city is saddening.
5 years to build the stadium and another 25 to actually untangle the logistical nightmare of public transit and parking and development in that area to maximize it.
And that money will come out of taxpayer's pockets while Harris counts his bread.
All to watch Maxey renact the Dame in Portland timeline into the 2030s.
Is it the same proposed spot as before? The one that is going to whitewash Chinatown?I like the idea of Center City, but I don't want to lose Chinatown. That's the problem here. I'd rather keep that than the Sixers' arena by a mile.
Just to clarify, the Harris group wants to pay for the entirety of the stadium...but that's just the stadium. Anyone that's been to Market East knows it sits on top of the most congested public trans hub in the state. A lot of it is unused and dilapidated though it's better now than it was maybe 10 years ago. One of the big selling points for the stadium is supposed to be that it will help boost Septa ridership but Septa is a corrupt, diseased giant held together by rubber bands and paperclips as is. The leadership is not great and they get no help from Harrisburg which always cuts its budget. To make this stadium viable they have to remake the entirety of Market East and that will take years. Harris won't foot the difference I'm willing to bet. And it's the actual city dwellers that will feel that pressure not the suburbanites who will revert back to cars VERY quickly once they have to get a whiff of those pissstained tunnels under Market.I forgot the obligatory no public money for stadiums ever. f*** off.
Yes.Damn but that guy kept posting all of that Camden stuff. I thought for sure it was going to be the Camden Sixers before we knew it. How are they not in Camden yet?!

That's a real f***ing shame. I'm all for a new stadium in center City but not there. That's shittyYes.
There’s not really another place to be in Center City. Chinatown isn’t even really an acceptable place. Everyone down there went through this 25 years ago when the Phillies wanted to put a stadium there. A Center City arena or stadium sounds nice but isn’t really practical, the city planning really didn’t have room. Temple wants their own stadium but can’t do it.That's a real f***ing shame. I'm all for a new stadium in center City but not there. That's shitty
Nah.. Governor Phil Murphy was all for it..Josh Harris probably got the Camden officials to propose that non-serious offer just to make the philly government nervous and more open to the new arena idea.

Depends how they do it.As an out-of-towner I would much rather see the Sixers in the CC area than the S Philly area. More options for staying overnight and more to do before and after the game. Seems like there is always opposition to this kind of thing and then once it's done everyone likes it.
I despise public AND private transportation...the latter especially.... since you get gouged..I f***ing despise using public transportation.
Regional rail is ok..problem is Septa is f***ing awfulI f***ing despise using public transportation.
How very American of youI f***ing despise using public transportation.
What if I told you septa is actually not awful and is in fact very great and makes Philly one of the leading transportation cities in North America. Sure they could do some updating but the infrastructure is there and way more effective than most citiesRegional rail is ok..problem is Septa is f***ing awful
