Not only is the proposed new arena a threat to the Chinatown community, but it is also in the neighborhood of the HISTORIC DISTRICT with all the historical venues, such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, etc. Why is no one talking about that!!? Philly is a unique city, Center City is not like other down town areas across the country, so why are we trying to do what other cities have done? The Mayor, although I usually back her, is really trying to make this project part of her "legacy". There's no need for a new stadium, especially in Center City. If they are hell-bent on building, then go on to the available Camden, NJ site. They'll still be the Philadelphia 76'ers, and as "good neighbors", Camden could benefit more from the arena being there. Center City Philadelphia is NOT the place for an arena. NOT!!!!!

I have been a 76ers Fan since I was 5 back in 2000 and if this new stadium is built due to the selfishness of owners i will most likely give up entirely on the NBA and will never go to an event at the stadium ever again. there is plenty of space to build a 4th stadium in the sports complex.

Have family that live right around the river bend from this. You could see it in fall when leaves fall. They had debris washing up into their back yard

I’m from Philadelphia. It’s a horrible location. Traffic will be insane and it will destroy Chinatown

It ain't going to happen. The Bears have money, you want to build your home, you pay it. You find your own partners, don't ask the citizens to pay for your new home. Not 1% of our taxes. It's a ridiculous ask.

HOW IS IT THAT THERE'S ALWAYS MONEY FOR WAR AND STADIUMS

The move to Austin was NEVER taken serious by any fan. They still had a contract w/ NYS that lasted i believe another 10yrs. Also The REAL group that wanted a New Stadium was the NFL. Owners put pressure on the Pegulas & NYS To build a “modern stadium” which had been pushed on to Buffalo since Ralph Wilson(previous owner) died.

And they still ain't going to win s***s

Potentialy the Stadium could get a Wrestlemania, Final 4, European soccer games, NCAA National championship game, Boxing, UFC, Superbowl, MLS Final, USMNT Games and many more. The price tag however is utterly insane and unless the Billionaire owners poney up more cash it aint getting built

The Stadium looks amazing apart from that Giant window in the North Endzone. Its tacky and Unnecessary. Also the capacity is way too low

You call this the most futuristic?? 😂😂😂 Poor Americans you never saw what japan and china did and what the rest of the world did . They are more futuristic than you

Asking for taxpayers to pick up the tab in one of the highest taxed states is a level tone deaf that astounds even me. Most of the state can't afford to go to a game anyways

The is a POS boondoggle. It is not needed and should not be approved.

I live in Wyoming I would love to go to a Buffalo Bills game before I die. I’m 42 and have emphysema and tuberculosis. My health went down hill. This is one things I want to go see before I die so bad

1. Septa doesn't even have funding to support their current services, let alone added ones to bring folks from the suburbs in on the regional rail. 2. Though they keep saying the billionaires will not get any of our tax money, our mayor has already stated that $20 million will be spent on "affordable" housing in the area. (Meanwhile our kids don't have extra curriculars in school and we have closed/underfunded rec centers and senior centers) 3. The car congestion will absolutely cost lives of people being rushed to the Einstein ER. 4. This will absolutely be a detriment to Chinatown. (Fuck gentrification) And possibly the Gayborhood.

Let them move to camden

Every team in the AFC South but the Jags will have a dome can’t believe the Bills are going outdoor stadium it would make a lot more money you could host things!

Ugly new stadium

I'm an Illinois taxpayer and I say NO to the new stadium. The Bear's franchise is worth $6+ billion. Let the Bears pay for their own stadium! Secondly, I am opposed to the lake front project and completely agree with the Friends of the Park group that this should NO be built in this lakefront location! The Arlington Heights location is exactly on the center of their fan base. No better public transportation location can be found in this entire county. METRA, the public rail transportion service has a train station next to the site that brought tens of thousands of horse racing fans to the former races track. Enough said.

The Chicago Bears want the Illinois taxpayers to finance a $7 billion dollar stratum and the team will put in $2 billion. The taxpayers still owe about $500 million on the current stadium so that cost would also need be added to the project. The governor and the legislators said NO! This public financing of projects that make team owner richer needs to STOP! Thank you.

I live in Illinois. The Chicago Bears want a new ROOFED stadium that in rotal will cost over $5 billion . They are willing to put in about $2.5 billion and want the taxpayers to fund the rest. The present stadium is taxpayer funded and is

As a titans fan our fan base sucks I don’t blame the smaller capacity there’s always more visiting fans than home fans. My thing is I kinda hope this stadium doesn’t have a bad seat the third level in Nissan Stadium are really far from the action I just hope you feel on top of everything in this new stadium. Obviously the big stuff is hosting Super Bowls, Final Fours, and my hope is the SEC Football Championship the basketball tournament is in Nashville let’s get the football championship here it’s a more central location anyway with the expansion.

I'll never goto another 76ers game again and neither will most fans..

Everyone’s so worried about traffic as if there aren’t a dozen regional rail lines and a subway/trolly line that will take you nearly right to the stadiums door step. Get over it.

The proposed site would destroy Chinatown plus unless they rebuild half of Philly the increased traffic would probably cause actual deaths with it being so close to Jefferson

I live in South Jersey. I'm one of the ones they think will start taking the high speed line and septa to center city. I won't unless, train and rail upgrades are made. All my life, it's been so easy to drive to all the stadiums. It's just a short drive over the bridge. There's plenty of parking and traffic isn't terrible after the games either. It only gets bad when there are different events happening at multiple stadiums. It's just not worth building in center city. I do think something needs to be done with the Gallery, just not a stadium that will bring so much traffic for each game.

The sphere in las vegas was 2.3 billion The new clippers stadium 2 billion How is chicago stadium almost 5 billion? It's a scam

No tax dollar should ever be spent on nonsense like this

Why not build a tunnel designed for high speed rail beneath the river instead? Such a tunnel would eliminate train delays due to ship traffic.

Hopefully it will actually be "MAGA COUNTRY!" LOL

The City of Chicago has been collecting a "Sports Tax" for decades. Where has all this money gone?????

I don’t know about other people, but I think those big wrap round circle LED screens at the top of these new stadiums are stupid. You’re there to watch the game on the court all these stupid games and stuff on those boards are distracting.

They should rebuild the Well's Fargo and invest in parking garages in south Philly, or invest in building the arena in Camden with shuttles. People driving in, are still going to be driving in. Moving the stadium to center city will only make the traffic and parking even worse than what it is now, while displacing the small local businesses within a 3 block radius with higher rent caused by higher property values. This will also effectively be shutting down the busiest Septa stop at Jefferson and 11st station too.

I've supported the 76ers for the last 25 years and I've never visited Philly! Would love to visit this arena one day if built. But I will gladly visit Wells Fargo Center, formerly Wachovia Center and First Union Center, as well. Just creates more hype when a new arena is built. Also being closer to the city, will allow fans outside of the city to check out the downtown as well. All that being said, most Sixers fans are in Philly, so it's best to consult them first.

Sadly this is the impact of quick bucks for developers and builders (*correction: no benefit to builders just a change to what they build, only quick bucks to developers a one time quick profit to one person) over long term far greater benefits over the long term for hotels which give back huge economic dividends forever - and give access to all of the beautiful views along the waterfront….

It seems so crazy to me that hotels would be controversial - instead Chicago has miles and miles of countless apartments for rich people and professionals - and but now one hotel with a good view for everyone else - a hotel is accessible to nearly everyone at least once in awhile - so so crazy for. Chicago to wall itself off from everyone but the wealthiest and those servicing them rather than ordinary people to experice the amazingly beautiful waterfront - a waterfront that was supposed to be completely open to all - this contrasts so much with the expansion of the riverwalk end other improvements - nothing is better for the commercial viability of the city than making the city fully accessible to all - Chicago a generation ago had so many more hotels with beautiful views which one by one have seen their views destroyed blocked by one more skyscraper for the rich.

"Guys I swear, it's the stadium's fault"

As a fan that go to Wells Fargo Center for couple games every year, I appreciate the highways around the current location. There is no public transportation from most of the surrounding suburbs. The new location will be a nightmare.

Never happen. Dummy they already paid 198 million for Arlington Heights land, goodball kid.....I dont know about you but if the land is bought its a done deal little kid.

It was hard for the Celtics to win last year, I mean, they had to deal with the bruins using td garden when the Celtics weren’t playing there. THATS HARD TO DO. Such a waste of money, it’s so the owners can hold concerts and events there for big big big money.

If it has to be publicly funded can we at least do it like Seattle & tax hotels so it comes from visitors & not the fans of the team.

S.S.O.S. 🤡.C = Still the Same Old Sorry 🤡Clippers!!! Intimidate Who? 🤡 Let me know when they win their 1st Championship because the will still be 16 behind the Lakers. Lol

I don’t see anything novel or unique about the stadium. playing in the Elements in January is not an advantage for any team. Build a roof. Too many DEI hires drove up the cost.

Meanwhile Philly has one of the biggest drug epidemics in the U.S.

As long as they keep the same name, i don't care what type of bridge they build. That name is part of Baltimore/Maryland history and even the nation's history.

This is a terrible idea, this stadium is picking one of the worst possible places to try to be built. I hope it fails.

The city is run by morons. Do you understand? Morons. Philly streets in center city are laid in a grid. Most streets are narrow and unlike most downtown cities, Philly has a large residential community living in center city. Then add the business traffic including Chinatown, and the crowds for a game and you have traffic nightmare. All for what? Watching a league that is dying?

Modern day Tower of Babel. I live in Oklahoma and I do not approve of this wickedness

Built and operated with money stolen (taxed) from you, plus interest... and you have to PAY to get in... and you can't even bring your own sandwich! Isn't socialism wonderful?
