Last week, the city of Philadelphia put out an independent study regarding the Sixers’ proposal for a new arena at Market East in Center City.
While most of the study helped the Sixers’ cause, the biggest sticking point continues to be the project’s impact on Chinatown. We highlighted those concerns in a previous post.
If the end result is that the city chooses not to green light 76 Place, it will be the second time the Sixers tried to build a new arena within the city. The previous unsuccessful attempt was a couple years ago when the team proposed an arena near Penn’s Landing.
