The Chinatown Coalition to Oppose the Arena argue the stadium will gobble up property right up to the edge of Chinatown, which they say will hurt the many small businesses in the area.
A coalition of the Chinatown community and its businesses says it does not want a 76ers arena to be built nearby on Market Street. Now, opponents of the proposed new arena are ramping up their efforts to push back against the build as they took reporters on a tour of the areas that will be impacted the most.
"When they build it, I don't think we can handle it," said Sam, the owner of Little Saigon on North 10th Street. "No parking, traffic, streets ate narrow and too small here." Activists blocked bill that could have fast-tracked plan for new 76ers arena in Chinatown The team's development group released a statement saying, "…We will continue to meet with community stakeholders to discuss the facts surrounding the proposed arena and how it will positively impact the area around Market East in Center City and Greater Philadelphia…"
Local activists have even joined the opposition, including Mark Kelly Tyler, who fought Temple's plan to build a football stadium in North Philadelphia. He says he sees the same battle looming in Chinatown, so he decided to step in.
