Harris has been through these sorts of negotiations recently, last month abandoning a plan for a new downtown arena for the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and reaching an agreement with the city and owners of the NHL’s Flyers to construct one near their current building in the South Philly stadium complex where the Eagles and Major League Baseball’s Phillies also play. He called that “a good education.”
“Obviously, it’s a little more complicated here because it’s multi-jurisdictional, but we’re keeping our eye on the same thing and trying to balance everything and do what we think is the best thing for the city, for the overall region and the fans and the team,” Harris said. “And that’s how we’re going to think about it.”
