Philadelphians support Sixers staying in South Philly, poll says

What South Philly arena backers are saying:

• Having Philadelphia's four major sports teams play in one area is part of what makes the city special. Adding a fifth — a potential WNBA team — would be icing on the cake!
• South Philly is better equipped to handle the crowds, traffic and parking.
• This option avoids disrupting Chinatown communities and Market Street.

What Center City arena backers are saying:

• Without the momentum of building the arena in Center City, the revitalization of Market East will fall on the back burner.
• The project would've drawn more much-needed investment and commerce hubs to Center City.
• Market East has been a disaster for a generation. Just when we think something good will come to it, billionaires pull a fast one.
