The Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers have unveiled initial exterior renderings for a new, privately funded arena in South Philadelphia. Located at the former Spectrum site, the project is a partnership between Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and Comcast Spectacor. The venue is designed to host the NBA, NHL, and a future WNBA expansion team, with an expected opening date in 2030.

Following the initial reveal, developers updated the renderings for the $1.5 billion facility. These revisions were made after the original graphics were criticized for failing to depict women in scenes representing fans attending Flyers games.
