When Mayor Cherelle L. Parker in September unveiled the terms of the agreement she reached with the 76ers to build a new arena in Center City, she vowed to go all out to help promote the project to the public and win City Council approval for it.

Mayor Cherelle Parker said she supports plans to keep the Sixers basketball team in South Philadelphia, instead of building a new arena in Center City.

The team's deal with Comcast Spectacor in South Philly includes investments on East Market Street, but few details are known.
