Philadelphia mayor-elect hints at 76ers arena stance

Philadelphia Mayor-elect Cherelle Parker today gave an "indication that she is likely to end up backing" the 76ers’ proposal to build a new arena in Center City after she "spoke positively throughout her mayoral campaign about" it. The Sixers’ arena proposal is one of the "first major issues that will come across Parker’s desk when she takes office in January." Parker said that she will "wait for the release of impact studies that were commissioned by the city, and paid for by the Sixers, before taking a stance." But she also "made a comment that implied she will not be swayed solely by the vocal opposition to the proposal" (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 11/9).
