Working in close collaboration with stakeholders from across Philadelphia, the 76ers are poised to fully deliver a world-class arena to the heart of Philadelphia – at no cost to city taxpayers. This slam dunk for our city, businesses, residents, and fans is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revitalize Market East and give the 76ers and its fans the arena they deserve.
The 76ers’ need for a modern and permanent home aligns with the city’s need to revitalize Market East, a section of Center City dealing with increasing vacancy and decreased foot traffic, creating a win-win opportunity.
Market East has historically served as the gateway to Philadelphia’s business, shopping, and entertainment districts. Decades-long challenges with the Fashion District Mall (formerly the Gallery) have contributed to decreased safety and foot traffic and increased vacancy. Replacing that with a state-of-the-art arena with groundfloor retail will help reactivate and revitalize the area on both event and non-event days alike.

Inspired by the success of downtown arenas built around public transportation hubs in other cities, we believe that Market East is the best location for a new arena. It would be located in the part of the mall from 10th-11th Streets on Market Street.
Our vision for 76Place was born in 2022, reimagining what an arena could do for our community. From conception to ribbon-cutting, we expect the 76ers to tip off for their first game in 2031.
76Place is being built to give our team a state-of-the-art facility and our fans the experience they deserve, serving as an anchor for the revitalization of Market East. Meet the team working hard to bring you 76Place – a reimagined arena for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Together, we can make 76Place a model for inclusive, responsible, and equitable development that re-energizes Market Street East and lifts up our entire community. Learn more about the Sixers’ commitment to invest $50 million towards a Community Benefit Agreement.
