The privately funded project is expected to create nearly 15,000 jobs and generate almost $6 billion in economic activity, organizers said.

  • On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers unveiled renderings for a new arena on the former Spectrum site in South Philadelphia, targeting a 2030 opening.
  • Designed by Populous and Moody Nolan, the structure echoes The Spectrum's iconic shape and includes a staircase inspired by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
  • Officials project the development will create nearly 15,000 jobs and generate almost $6 billion in economic activity over the next decade, providing tax revenue for the School District.
  • Managing Partner Josh Harris and Chairman Brian Roberts emphasized the project's significance, noting the arena will host the NBA, NHL, and Philadelphia's future WNBA team starting in 2030.
  • Returning to the grounds where the Flyers won two Stanley Cups, the project aims to honor the legacy of Ed Snider while creating a modern fan experience.
