Black man here… this is stupid and definitely seems like a political ploy to pit black ppl against Asians , as usual in this country. No one I’ve spoken to thinks this is a good idea or worth it at all. We have all that space on the waterfront if building a new arena is that serious . Nonetheless the only problem I ever have with the sports complex is the traffic and parking situation. Otherwise leave this alone!

It makes more sense for the sixers to stay at the sports complex than it does to move to the waterfront

I wholeheartedly agree, I think it makes more sense for them to stay there in general and stop trying to be NYC Jr.

NYC jr. 90% of the nba arenas are downtown. Running the gamut from Detroit to Los angles.

NYC jr is a stupid thing. What we have in common is due to 400 years of interconnectedness. 90 miles distance and two of the most densest and oldest cities in America.

They have row houses too

What “all that space” on the waterfront are you even talking about? The Market street section next to Penn’s Landing the sixers already bid on and failed to win? Nothing on the waterfront is anywhere accessible as being on top of one of our transit hubs so that argument is a non-starter and will only lead to the Sixers ending up over the bridge, losing the city tens of millions in tax revenue.

Do more people come to 76ers games than commuted to CC pre-pandemic?

At least on reddit (which doesn't count for much) he has 155 upvotes, and how many do YOU have?

For the record I'm against this stadium. It won't be built at Market East.

Yea the Hive Mind collective mentality on Reddit. So its a good decision because some random spoke to his two friends about it? Are you legit against it or because Reddit told you so?
