Oh a WNBA team is definitely coming. Harris will own that as well. I just think he's a terrible greedy piece of shit who could care less about the city of Philadelphia
Philadelphia 76ers will have arena built in center city

I mean they did spend money this season to make the sixers better.Oh a WNBA team is definitely coming. Harris will own that as well. I just think he's a terrible greedy piece of shit who could care less about the city of Philadelphia
But I do agree it's all about money with harris.
I just want to see this team win a championship before I die.
every decision made in america is ultimately about making more money. as to which end of that equation you are on, well that is what determines whether you mad or glad. right now for instance, chinatown is mad. but the city's budget, if managed right after this, will be glad.True. They're gonna have to give a lot of overtime for police presence as well. Could be a budgeting issue for the city. Bottom line is the move to Jersey wasn't serious. That needed the league approval and that wasn't gonna happen. Nothing wrong with the Wells Fargo Center. No one complained about it. The only reason Harris wanted a new arena was for more money. He didn't wanna share concert events with Comcast Spectacor and the Flyers, who actually own the building. He wanted the money all for himself. He doesn't give a fuck about the city of Philadelphia or the people, fans. He just wants more money. That's why this was a bad move.
That chinatown is a filthy mess of a neighborhood but their food is fucking great. And that little store with the cakes and desserts? Man listen.
My objection is they should find some dollars to make Sigma Studios a TSOP museum. It's literally a few blocks away and all it is is a warehouse with a little plaque across the street. Considering the talent and magic that went on in there you'd think they'd do better.

1. When did Philly get a female mayor?
2. Where in Center City do they think they can put an arena? It looks like there's gonna be a lot of demolition in that area to fit it in.

The gallery which is now called the first district mall is where the arena gonna built at after they demolish part of that mall and the bus terminal will be demolish as well to create enough space to build that arena in center city.
Philly had a black female mayor since last year in a half. She's been here for a while now.
Man I just don't see it should just kept it in south philly I say get rid of Xfinity liveMan parking is gonna be a fuckin mess though. If anything, I'd take the train. No way I'm driving down there. Howard Eskin gonna have a stroke over this. I'm tuning in Saturday morning.
Nah, because South Philly arena outdated and the owner don't want to demolish it and that renovation doesn't do nothing at all. Also, it's a hockey arena and not basketball.
Man if he pulls off getting the stadium back to RFK. All Washington fans would love that lol
It will be well deserved. I'm sure he can pull it off. Good luck to DC on getting that new stadium.
I'll go to a WNBA game in Philly, and so will most of the other people here in town. We ride for our sports teams.Oh a WNBA team is definitely coming. Harris will own that as well. I just think he's a terrible greedy piece of shit who could care less about the city of Philadelphia
Most definitely and it's long overdue for this city to not have a WNBA in da city.
So with the new arena being built, Philly will be an attractive destination for a WNBA expansion.
You forgot WNBA because they still would be busy until the regular season begins for the NBA.
well she lost the asian vote
wnba plays 40 games....that's 20 days at home...if we get a team
There's plenty things to do to keep that arena busy with events especially in the summer. Let's not forget the election which could be used as well.
I believe the arena will have plenty of options to keep things being busy throughout the year from winter to summer.
I don't think she gives ah fuck since she's already sworn in.
So, she was gonna approve this because that's where the money is compared to chinatown which is smaller and don't bring in the kind of money like sports.
4 years go fast....unless she dont intend to be mayor that long...
I mean even if she doesn't get a second term, they won't change shit because by then the arena would be almost done.
This might be a bit too small for them, but a temporary (permanent?) venue could be The Palestra, on Penn's campus. It's considered a "shrine" of college basketball, and the way it's built could give the Philly team a great home court advantage.
Great idea, but i don't think they want to go that direction.
Good, keep the Sixers right in Philly. That was about to be wild having the Sixers in Camden are you shittin me.....Muthafuckaz would've been getting jacked nightly. And these Chinese muthafuckaz need to stay out of it. I bet niggaz can't go anywhere in China and build an arena or have any say so in their politics.
Imagine if the owners of the Barclays center and the bk nets thought the same way when thinking about competing with Madison square garden.. yet how many things have they hosted from concerts, tours, award shows, etc.. madison square garden was the big dog yet the Barclays/ nets carved out a 10 fig biz out of creating their own stadium
CAN't really compare new york market to any other market. New york is always going to have a strong market, win, lose or empty. its new york.
