Hilferty interview on STG:
1. Wants to make South Philly more of an entertainment hub, I took this as...they are going to put in some parking garages, and take away some parking lots. Restaurants, apartments stuff like that are on their way
2. He said he tells Torts often he has to embrace the new way of thinking and playing
3. Likes interacting with fans
4. Doesn't want to meddle into team decisions, has full trust in Danny and Keith
5. Wants the Sixers to stay, thinks that their moaning about scheduling conflicts is false, and says the Flyers and Sixers alternate each year for "first pick" or something
6. Oh yeah - apparently they are working on traffic issues, especially for Eagles

My thoughts:
1. He comes off really well in the interview, lot of corporate talk, but he knows what the fans want to hear
2. I liked how he told Torts this is a new era and new game, gotta adapt
3. I'd be curious to see what they have envisioned for South Philly in terms of new construction? Please fix Eagles traffic. Please
4. Ill give this guy a chance - he's said all the right things so far
