Comcast Spectacor unveils exact location of new shared arena with Flyers, Sixers and WNBA teams

he exact location of the new shared arena between the Flyers, 76ers and the city's WNBA expansion team has been decided: where the Spectrum once stood in South Philadelphia.

Comcast Spectacor and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment plan to build the new arena in the southeast corner of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue next to SEPTA's Broad Street Line, a spokesperson confirmed Thursday.

The construction timeline is about three years and the hope is to have the Philadelphia WNBA team debut at the arena in 2030, a spokesperson said.

Xfinity Mobile Arena, which broke ground in 1994 and opened in 1996, would be demolished once the new arena is completed.
