Idk how they expect SEPTA, the one that is facing a budget deficit and shortfall after getting money from the State, raising fares, and cutting routes to accommodate increased service to that area. And Sixers mgmt has said that they will not front costs to expand Jefferson under the arena or with frequency of service... but one of the positives that are be touted by the Sixers is that there will be increased public transportation usage to alleviate congestion.
Brodie: Just a few words about this.... 1) Part of the reason that the Sixers are saying that they need this now for 2031 is the complexity of the project since it is built atop a major rail hub. Also, clearing out the Gallery or Fashion District would take a little bit of time. There's also the 250th anniversary of the country and how that area will be a huge centerpiece- its 5 blocks from Independence Mall- in 2026 that could produce an added hurdle. 2) The biggest issue is SEPTA. They are operating in the red already. It isn't MSG with non-stop service all night. This only works if SEPTA gets on board. 3) Finally, the Sixers have long felt as a second or third option behind Flyers and concerts with Wells Fargo dates. The question remains on whether there's enough other events that could support two arenas - especially after Flyers have made it clear they want to build down here in South Philly with a mixed use project around complex- and a potential new domed football stadium that is in whisper stage. Should be entertaining to watch.
This Community Benefits "Package" sounds suspiciously like a legal way to accept a bribe. If the area was developed into a high rise office building, would there be a $100+ million dollar Community Benefits package?
II actually think it is ok, the team wants to build a privately funded stadium and is willing to give back to the community for the impact. I agree a little bit but am ok with the way it’s been done.
It's a done deal, there are only 17 members of city council. The committee you are referencing is a committee of the whole, meaning the entire council. So essentially the council voted on it (with one absentee who is on record as opposed). So the next vote will be 12-5 in favor of the project.
If this passes, Chinatown & surrounding neighborhoods near this arena are effectively doomed, unless more robust preservation efforts are put into place in the final deal.
@@NHLCrazy2007 50% of Chinatown residents could experience displacement over this arena, with only 1 in 5 businesses expected to see any sort of economic benefit from its construction. Like I said, unless there are more robust preservation efforts being put into place in the final bill (as well as more public transit funding can be allocated to improve service to & around Jefferson Station to alleviate traffic), this arena will be a blight on Center City (or Downtown for you out of towners wondering where it is I'm talking about).
@@majoratom1137 First of all, I'm from Philadelphia. Not Center City though. I do agree that they need to also contribute more money toward infrastructure upgrades because all north-south side streets are so clogged with parked cars (both legally and illegally) and causes major traffic problems. Market Street also needs revival from the pandemic, but by 2031, hopefully it will be.
@@NHLCrazy2007 Hopefully it will be. But as it stands, it doesn't sound like it'll be great for anyone living around the area. But only time will tell, as there's a lot of time between now & 2031, and things can most certainly change & I only hope it is for the better, even if that feels like a longshot atm. Thank you for the clarification on that you're from Philly, I'm from the Philly metro area myself & the "out of towners" line wasn't directed at you, but more generally at members of Brodie's audience who'd read this response & may be unfamiliar with the quirks & colloquialisms of this region.
This is total bullshit, I live in Brooklyn, the surrounding area around Barclays Center hasn’t changed disproportionately compared to any other neighborhood pre and post opening
Market East area never really developed into anything big. It's odd because it's between Reading Terminal Market, the Convention Center, Chinatown, and Independence Mall. And it's on top of a busy commuter rail station. The area still needs more security, more condos/residents, trash pick-up (it's Philly), and dining/attractions because it's still pretty dead at night. I believe even Wawa moved out.
If this gets built, then the Sixers would become the first of the big 4 Philly sports teams in 60 years (by the time of the new arena's opening) to play outside the South Philly Sports Complex.
Brodie today Friday the City of Philadelphia they sim what the traffic would be like when games where going on in the Arena so see how much it will be .
@@master-kq3nw I have a mixed position on it. Philadelphia does not NEED a second arena. I don't like any major city with more than one. Bad enough that New York, Los Angeles and Phoenix has at least 2 (the latter two cities don't have a second technically within city limits). Another part of me wants the arena because Chinatown cannot derail a second arena or stadium proposal over the past 50 years. They aren't bigger than the entire city. They already demanded a highway cap over the Vine Street Expressway.
They are building it on their own dime and giving back to the community for the impact, it might not be prefect but the community is getting something out of it. They are not using tax payer money so that is a win.
Why in the hell should a private business have to pay off a city to build? Especially when it’s privately financed. This is massive government overreach
I would disagree, they are going to impact the community by a huge amount. If you are talking about a small office building or store that’s different. This is a huge project that has lots of local impact, being built in a area not really ideal for a huge sports complex. They are building it on their own dime and giving back to the community for the impact it is going to create, so I disagree that it is government overreach.
I would think that if we're looking at this amount of dissonance between the city and the people, this project had better deliver a metaphorical Grand Slam. Otherwise, I can see forensic accountants in the future, and they only show up with gloves on and they don't stop until they hit the back of someone's teeth.
I think the Sixers are relying FAR to much on public transportation to fill this arena. Do they REALLY think that people who pay a premium to see their games are going to want to take SEPTA at night? No. People with money want to drive, and parking to next to non-existent in that area. So expect the Sixers to average 4,000 to 5,000 per game. (Maybe less if they keep playing like they are this year.)
Everyone's not going to be satisfied. Unlike the Rays who are going through their drama (and it didn't help that a literal hurricane passed through Pinellas County/St. Petersburg Florida). Here we have a situation where the team is working with the city/county officials to find something that sucks less. There will be problems that will need to be sorted.
You covered it very well here, @BrodieBrazil. I have a mixed position on whether I want this arena or not. What bothers me with Chinatown activists is what I already stated in the comments to your video from Monday. They are getting more radical and extreme in their actions against the arena. Bad enough they were so disruptive on Tuesday that the committee meeting was postponed. Want to protest, do it with respect to the process. They were not. I agree that the 76ers should have offered at minimum the $100 million the city asked for. Not sure if it is because the team does not trust Chinatown leaders' to put any of that money to beneficial use. I drove through Chinatown about 6 hours ago and it is far from a desirable place to be. Just not at the level of other neighborhoods in the city that earned the national reputation of being really bad... like Kensington in near Northeast Philly. Chinatown themselves need to do their part to improve their neighborhood, not goad specifically a sports team owner for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars without accountability in how it is spent. They already had their demands met recently to eventually get a highway cap over the Vine Street Expressway so their neighborhood is fully "connected". Do the 76ers need to contribute funding toward maintaining or improving the area surrounding the arena, absolutely. If Chinatown succeeds yet again, this will only prove that they feel they have more power than any other neighborhood in the city because the development is not even in theirs itself. It is in Market East. They just don't want to be next door to it. I was not living here when they derailed the Phillies ballpark proposal and certainly before the Pennsylvania Convention Center was built, so with the latter, do we see them angrily complaining about its presence next door to them? At least in the last 10 years, I haven't. This is all about stopping a sports owner and team from being nearby. Period. Do the 76ers NEED a new arena? No. But they are pushing to get one because of the obvious reasons already publicly known. Whether it is in Center City (downtown) or Camden, it is not going to be ideal for everyone. More would support the option of staying in South Philly.
