Sources Say The Sixers Are Abandoning Plans For Chinatown Arena and Will Remain in South Philly
After protests and heated debates in City Hall, it looks like the Sixers will remain in South Philly despite Mayor Parker’s efforts to move them to Chinatown.
According to a recent report by the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Ryan Boyer, head of the Philadelphia Building and Construction Trades Council, said the deal involves the 76ers and Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Flyers and Wells Fargo Center, working together to build a new arena in South Philadelphia. Boyer said the deal also involves a commitment for a major development project on East Market Street, but he did not yet have details on what that would look like.”
More details to follow. With the Sixers change of plans, what do you feel would be the best option for the future of The Fashion District and old Greyhound station?
