Philadelphia, PA: As everyone knows, change is a good and at times a bad thing for your city. Right now, the City of Philadelphia is going to vote on who is going to be the next Mayor and the future of where the Philadelphia 76ers could be playing their home games is a major topic for the new Mayor.
On Thursday morning, the leading candidates for the next mayor of Philadelphia (Jeff Brown, Alan Domb, Helen Gym, Cherelle Parker and Rebecca Rhynhart) took part in a debate that was heard on KYW Newsradio 103.9 FM and they were asked about the proposed new Philadelphia 76ers arena that would be located in the Fashion District and gave their thoughts about the proposed arena.

Based on what the candidates said, none of them are on board with this prosed idea and there are still a lot of questions that needed to be addressed for this project to work.
