“HBSE and Comcast will also immediately focus on Market East, bringing together government officials and local stakeholders to develop a variety of options to revitalize a vital neighborhood in Center City where the 76ers had originally proposed locating the arena,” the release read.

After years of planning and ongoing debate, the planners behind a proposal to bring a Sixers arena to Center City have backtracked. Instead, the team will get a new arena in South Philly, an official claimed.

The Philadelphia 76ers appear to not be moving out of the South Philadelphia sports district, after all. After pushing for years to have an NBA-only arena in Center City, the Sixers have reportedly agreed to a deal with Comcast Spectator to stay in South Philly.
