Philadelphian here: there’s actually massive protests about the new Sixers stadium, and it’s pretty controversial. It’s likely going to be placed right in the middle of Chinatown, which could out price the current residents and destroy the thriving community that is there. This fear is not unfounded, as that’s what happened to DC’s Chinatown with the Capitals arena. Many people really like how all of the stadiums are right next to each other, as it makes parking and tailgating super easy and the main subway line has a stop right there. I’m not saying the stadium doesn’t need updates, but I really wish they would just renovate the current stadium instead of build a new one right in the middle of downtown
@iHeartDash7 ай бұрын
One thing you didn’t say about the controversy is how bad traffic will be in the area. I used to work where they want to move the new arena and it’s already bad traffic in downtown Philly but adding a national sports team w fans coming in from all over the tri state area, & potentially the world depending on the event, it would make life much more difficult trying to get to the arena which is why everyone in the area hates the idea
@HeapsYT7 ай бұрын
Didn't even know about any of this! That's actually wild that they're putting it in the center of Chinatown, hopefully a peaceful resolve is made, or at least in the long run it somehow benefits Chinatown?

@@iHeartDash Seriously I don't know why everyone complains about the stadiums all being together in South Philly right off the highway. I feel like it mitigates traffic pretty well (granted I usually take the Subway down to avoid all of it). And yeah I avoid driving in Downtown Philly so adding an arena is just gonna make it a mess

I'm not sure if you know this but In the Golden 1 Center Arena, the entrance can be opened up completely, like the mirrors fold in half and the light and air that comes in is so relaxing and it basically gives the feel that its an open arena.

The Delta Center may not be the best arena in the NBA objectively speaking, but it's a building with a lot of history. And the fact that it was built primarily for basketball makes it unique, as most other arenas were built for basketball and hockey. The upper and lower bowls are so steep, fans are right ontop of the action, it also makes the place much louder than most other arenas. That combined with the elevation, makes it an intimidating place for opposing teams to play in. The arena underwent a renovation in 2017, and will undergo another renovation to make it more appropriate for hockey now that we have a team. Overall, while I'm not crazy on the boxy exterior design, the inside looks nice, and is always clean. I do appreciate you actually elaborating a little bit on why you dislike it, unlike Depressed Ginger who just constantly trashes the place because he's judging it off of nothing but Google images, lmao

Honestly, Gainbridge Fieldhouse isn't the Lucas Oil Stadium of the NBA; if anything, Lucas Oil Stadium is the Gainbridge Fieldhouse of the NFL since the Fieldhouse came first. And both were based off the designs of the old basketball fieldhouses that can still be found all over the state--Hinkle Fieldhouse on the Butler campus being the most famous of these, but only one of many.

As a Celtics fans (but I've never been inside TDG) I was surprised to see TDG so high. Granted, I knew of the renovations, but man, the SECOND that building was completed 30 years ago, it was dubbed The Fleece Center, and non-stop bitching and moaning ensued. Simply given that it's now on the old side, I wouldn't have imagined you liked it. Now I have to go (if I ever live within 2000 miles again). I HAVE been to a few of the other arenas here though (OKC, Orlando, Miami, DC); no major disagreements, but--and I think this is appropriate--what this really shows is that there simply aren't many truly BAD arenas anymore. OKC's isn't anything special, but it's a good location and there's nothing bad about it. I definitely agree it's ahead of DC. I liked Orlando a bit more than Miami, but agree they were close.
