The Philadelphia 76ers have unveiled the first renders of what will be their new arena starting in 2030, to be built alongside the city’s NHL franchise: the Philadelphia Flyers.
The new stadium, dubbed “The Philly Arena,” is planned to host up to three professional teams from the city and also serve as an economic engine for the city.
It will be privately financed with $6.0 billion over the next decade (the highest private financing in history) and will create more than 15,000 jobs.
“Philadelphia fans deserve the best stadium in the world, and we’re excited to partner with Comcast to make it happen. This stadium, financed entirely with private capital, will be the perfect stage for moments and memories that will define this city for decades to come,” said Josh Harris, owner of the Sixers.
“We have an incredible opportunity ahead of us and we look forward to collaborating with Mayor Parker and Council President Kenyatta Johnson to transform a place steeped in history, while simultaneously creating thousands of jobs, delivering a lasting economic impact and offering a new stadium that pays homage to the city’s sporting culture,” he added.

It is worth noting that the Sixers have shaken up the trade market with the arrival of Jaylen Brown from the Celtics in an unusual deal for Paul George, and the signing of LeBron James as a free agent in an effort to mount one final bid for the NBA title.
Together they boast three NBA championships, and the latest came in 1983 when they swept the Los Angeles Lakers 4-0 in the Finals, with Moses Malone named the Finals MVP.
