It seems like panic is starting to set in, as the never-ending discussion about the new arena has taken a rather interesting turn over the past week.
Although the Sixers are fighting to secure a spot in the city, in a new location outside of the South Philly complex where they are currently based, they have received a lot of criticism. As a result, New Jersey and Delaware have reportedly offered the Sixers a move to another state.
The team might listen to these just to hear them, but New Jersey seems like a real threat in this scenario. According to the Associated PressA Sixers spokesperson noted that the team’s leadership group “must take all potential options seriously.”
With the Sixers’ Wells Fargo Center lease expiring in 2031, the team needs to find a solution sooner rather than later. With Camden just across the bridge and already home to the Sixers’ headquarters, the city could be an interesting Plan B for the Sixers if Plan A fails.
