*UPDATED* Renderings on new NBA Arenas (Intuit Dome & 76er Place)

[@mikevanriel7573]

No way the Clippers would get their own arena if Donald Sterling still owned the team.

Correct, they would still lease at Stables Center,

The Intuit Dome is going to be the best and most exiting new arena of the past decade (in a 10 year period that has seen the opening of Chase Center, Fiserv Forum, Golden 1 Center). The way Steve Ballmer has described this arena with all of the new technology, self-serve food, the halo-scoreboard, and "Wall of Noise" will surely be a place that many basketball fans from any team will want to experience at least once

[@tomwujek4867]

Oklahoma City is starting a large renovation for the Paycom Center. It will include replacing the seats, new bunker suites, renovating the existing suites, new scoreboard, new concessions, and technology upgrades. The renovation started in 2022 and will go through 2028. The new scoreboard is expected for the 2023-24 season. The firm that is designing the upgrades is Populous. Sports Business Journal reported in March 2022 that the New Orleans Pelicans are in very early stages of a potential new long term home. Although they are going to do some minor upgrades in the current building, the talk of a new long term home usually means new arena.

[@samelmudir]

Did the pelicans get new owners? Thought they had the poorest owners in the league

[@thisisOKCloudcity]

OKC is getting a new arena in 2029-2030

[@razorsharp8549]

The current home of the 76's and Flyers replaced the Spectrum and it's not that old.

[@tropicten]

It’s older than you think. The Sixers and Flyers played at the Spectrum for 29 years. They’ve been at the Wells Fargo Center for 27.

[@meadster308]

The, then, New Orleans Hornets played in OKC after Hurricane Katrina. There was a good turnout for games. That helped them get an NBA team.

[@0fficialdregs]

[@waynejohnson9374]

Love your videos, but I don't think you know enough about Philly to know how bad for the city that 76ers arena would be. It's so bad for Chinatown, crime is getting worse in that area, and nobody wants it there. It'll also be a traffic nightmare and they want to encourage more people to take SEPTA into the city which nobody wants to do anymore because it has gotten so unsafe. Not only that, but we actually love the Wells Fargo Center here and we love the fact that the Flyers and Sixers play in the same arena. Think of Philly fans as the old guy who yells at kids to get off his lawn that doesn't like change. We don't care about flashy arenas and the renovations we got are great! So yes, we actually want them to keep playing at Wells Fargo with the Flyers & Wings.

[@Damianoutlaw]

Philadephia loves it some boring!

[@jonpike9991]

I grew up in Norristown. I hated that traffic on 422 and 76. Center City doesn't want to deal with Flyers fans.

[@matthewkester3677]

why would it take 8 yrs to build the Sixers new place? The Intuit Dome is a yr away from being ready and I know it didn't take no 8 yrs to build.

[@thomasberrymanll4595]

@@matthewkester3677 way more politics and under the table deals and corruption in Philly so that always holds things up. But I don’t think they should build an arena there anyway but that’s jmo.

[@AntcmbHeat]

The NBA don’t care about you all loving Wells Fargo Arena. The NBA wants everyone to have moderate up to date technology no matter how the fans feel about it or else you’ll be threaten to lose your franchise and relocate. Teams have to keep up the venues in which they play in

[@scottyb2688]

the smoothie center was renovated in 2014 an that renovation added all that glass to the front it was a teal concrete box before 2014 an they added the glass front to expand the concourse an painted the outside a light gray

[@northeastoutrider2124]

76 Arena is super small. The max footprint over that site is 400' x 500' over an active road. This arena would require closing businesses in an active mall including an AMC Movie Theater as well as relocation of a Greyhound Bus Terminal. This looks like a poorly thought out idea.

[@0fficialdregs]

Wouldn't it to be smarter to just tear down the existing arena, have the team play at a college arena, and build the new arena in the 76 arena spot?

I am a Philadelphian, and I welcome the arena. I am so sick of hearing all the blah...blah... lame excuses as to why it will not work. Cities that are far larger than Philadelphia have figured it out. It is not that hard, just lame excuses. Interesting fact, teams with downtown arenas seem to be the most successful too. Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Raptors, Bucks, Nuggets, and Warriors. See a trend there? I sure do and so does Sixers ownership. Philadelphia needs to get over it's self, they are not special at all.

[@AxelDc99]

I hope that the legendary Wells Fargo Arena stays for a long Time. That arena not only hold lot of great games and cool Playoffs, but a lot of great wrestling shows. And it doenst deserve to get threath like that.

[@tyb9975]

I really really don’t want the sixers arena in center city. The traffic in PHL is already one of the worst in the country and we don’t have an adequate public transport system in order for the stadium to be in downtown. It will be a complete disaster

[@SuperDave30]

To me Smoothie King Center in New Orleans too small for NBA arena, to me they need a new arena.

[@albertsancho5909]

Wells Fargo Center is good as it is and the 76ers should stay there.

[@86byrdman]

I agree. I never really thought the Sixers needed a new arena. We might be getting to a point in sports where teams are building new arenas and stadiums just to build them. It kind of started with the Braves and the Falcons who didn't really need new stadiums, but got them anyway. LOL

[@scottyb2688]

I agree Georgia Dome didn’t get a fair shake nothing was wrong Turner Field an the Omni were the hawks played got replaced only for the thrashers (NHL) that left to become the Winnipeg Jets I don’t think ATL replaces anything else for a while after they got burned on the Falcons Stadium hell the video board isn’t even HD

The Lakers should stop dimming the lights during games. Laker fans are quiet as it is and dimming the light make it seem there are no fans.
