Daily News | David Adelman is officially a Sixers limited partner. Their arena plans rise and fall with him.
There’s a mixture of nostalgia and aspiration in David Adelman’s vision of a downtown arena for the 76ers. There’s a sweet spot there for someone of Adelman’s background and generation, and he’s determined to find it for the sake of shaping what he insists will be a better Philadelphia.
Yes, they have to hope that Adelman has those connections and credibility, because no one else does. Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment is a business behemoth, one that already tried to secure an arena project in Penns Landing, one that doesn’t like to lose.
That’s not the key question anymore. The key question is, will they remain aligned? And Adelman will have to do some persuading — of the next mayor, of City Council, of the residents of Chinatown and the neighborhoods surrounding the proposed site, of Sixers fans throughout the region — that they will, that this venture will fulfill every promise and meet every expectation.
