New Jersey officials vying for Philadelphia 76ers to open new arena in Garden State
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Leaders in New Jersey are in talks with the 76ers, hoping to convince them to move across the Delaware River to the Garden State.
It comes amid stalled plans for the proposed Sixers arena in Center City Philadelphia.
A spokesperson for the Sixers told Action News they want their own arena, and now it’s just a matter of where.
Philadelphia 76ers owner, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, has been working for years on proposals to build a new arena in Center City.
But with negotiations still up in the air, New Jersey is once again drawing up a game plan.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy says he’s approaching these conversations with conviction.
“We’re blessed with a good relationship with these guys, both the owners and the professionals who run the Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, and they own the Devils and the Sixers among other assets,” said Murphy.
The Sixers already moved their practice facility and corporate headquarters to Camden in 2016.
“We’ve been observing the lack of progress in Philadelphia and we said, ‘You know what, we’re going to raise this with them.’ And we’re serious about it and they seem to be serious about it,” said Murphy.
Another serious conversation has been putting the arena on the East Market Street Corridor, which would stand on the edge of Chinatown.
It continues to remain a concern among those who oppose it.
“There’s a lot of harm that could come from this. There’s a lot of ways that Chinatown could be wiped out a lot of folks could lose their homes and businesses,” said Vivian Chang, the executive director of Asian Americans United.
In a statement sent to Action News, a 76ers spokesperson said:
“We remain focused on bringing a state-of-the-art arena to Philadelphia as we have been for the last four years. We are hopeful to reach an agreement with the city this summer to ensure legislation is introduced in early September, which will allow the 76ers to open our new home in time for the 2031-32 NBA season.”
Fans we spoke with say they want the team to stay in Philadelphia.
“I love the Sixers, I don’t love the prospect of them leaving Philadelphia and moving to New Jersey,” said Sean Dalton from Manayunk.
“I’m not going to Jersey and neither should they,” said Tim Levy from Erdenheim.
The team’s spokesperson says their goal is to stay in the city, they just have to strike the right deal, and time is ticking.

Nearby shooting interrupts 13-year-old’s birthday party in Paterson; 1 killed, 3 injured
PATERSON, New Jersey (WABC) — One person was killed and three others were injured in a shooting in Paterson.
The violence erupted around 6:30 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of East 29th Street and 10th Avenue.
Children nearby gasped in horror at the sound of rapid gunfire. They were just about to sing Happy Birthday to their 13-year-old friend at her backyard party, but instead of blowing out the candles, they ducked for cover when they heard gunshots in the distance.
“Just hearing it – it was scary to witness, to hear. Especially on my birthday. Like a time I’m trying to play with my friends, get together,” said the 13-year-old.
She also says she had a friend who was there who saw what happened.
“He was going to the bodega – he went running back, but he had saw two people come out of a car and then shoot, but it was like an automatic gun,” she added.
Bystanders watched in shock and panic as first responders treated the victims. One of them was lying in the street next to a car and another was on the ground next to a bicycle.
Local councilman Luis Velez says the City of Paterson has taken measures to reduce crime in this part of town – what he calls a ‘hotspot’ — in part by installing security cameras. He is encouraging the community to cooperate.
“Paterson Police is doing their job as I know, they’re doing a great job to reduce crime, but one again we, the police, nobody, not even the news media has a crystal ball to say this is going to happen now,” Velez said, “Some people see corners getting built up, they see activities and they’re afraid to come out and say something, but our police department is trained to keep it confidential and approach to bring the quality of life in this area.”
The 13-year-old hopes her next birthday party is not ruined by the sound of gunshots.
“First we thought it was fireworks, but then we heard sirens and everyone started going home because they were scared,” she added.
