Philadelphia mayor gives update on proposed Sixers arena in Center City

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center to provide more details on the Sixers' proposed Center City arena. According to the mayor's office, the public meeting will happen at 5:30 p.m.
"You're going to hear every detail, from the top to the bottom," Parker said Tuesday. "We'll cross every T and dot every I as you see what the agreement entails that will ensure that our Sixers are staying home."
The $1.55 billion proposed arena, 76 Place, would stand in the city's Market East section, on Market and Filbert streets and 10th and 11th streets, and replace part of Fashion District Philadelphia. It would also bring a mixed-use high-rise building with about 395 residential units next to the arena.

We can still have an these things no matter where they build an arena. People don't go downtown because it's horrible traffic. Most people order online now. Shopping centers around the country are closing every day. Building the arena isn't going to help. People are not going to be forced into taking the bus out train. City Hall is one of the dirtiest stations in the city, busses are trash and most people would rather drive. Driving is a hot mess on the daily, let alone with extra traffic that's only going to jam up 95 and the Vine.
The city spoke and she didn't listen. And that little bit of money isn't worth it. Let them or it on the land of the old navy yard. Anywhere but downtown.
