Sixers reportedly scrapping plans for Center City arena, will work with Comcast on new building

Paul Hudrick has been covering the Sixers as a writer, reporter, podcaster, on-camera personality and analyst since 2016. He is the Editor-in-Chief at Liberty Ballers.

Well, it appears the Sixers are staying in South Philly after all.

Just weeks after the team got approval on plans for 76 Place and a new arena at Market East in Center City, there’s reportedly been a change of plans. The Sixers will now work together with Comcast to build a new joint arena to replace the Wells Fargo Center.

Sources are telling me that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Comcast President Brian Roberts have talked the Sixers into staying in South Philly.
