Getting from the farthest West stop on the Market Frankford Line, 69th Street, to the 13th Street stop is a 16-minute ride, while getting from the farthest East stop on the Market Frankford Line, the Frankford Transportation Center, to the 11th Street stop is a 26-minute ride.ĭuring the week Market Frankford Line trains run at six-minute intervals throughout the middle of the day, then every 12 minutes until 11:30 p.m., and then every 15 minutes until 12:30 a.m. The new arena would sit directly on Market Street, making any of the Market Frankford Line stops from City Hall to 8th Street a sub-10 minute walk to the arena. Let's take a look at all the currently-available ways to commute to not-currently-available 76 Place: SEPTA Subway + TrolleyĮither of the SEPTA subway lines would be an excellent transit option for attending a Sixers game at 76 Place for anyone living even remotely close to their stops. (This all comes with the knowledge that things will likely change in the next nine years, but humor us, will ya?) Whether you're already a regular public transit rider, someone who uses it occasionally, or a person who doesn't use it and is afraid of how moving the Sixers to Center City will affect your ability to see a game, it's a good idea to get familiar. "We are confident that SEPTA will be ready to serve this exciting new venue, and we will continue to work closely with all stakeholders moving forward," Busch said. "We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with the team, the city and other stakeholders moving forward."
"Yes, the Sixers have been in touch with SEPTA regarding their plans for the new arena," SEPTA Director of Media Relations Andrew Busch told NBC Sports Philadelphia. SEPTA has been in contact with the Sixers ahead of this announcement, and the transit authority sounds ready. MORE: Why the Sixers' new arena plan has fans so torn The question, of course, is how public transit would hold up to the likely increased volume considering driving into Center City and finding parking seems significantly less palatable than driving to the Stadium Complex. Between subway lines, train lines, and bus routes it couldn't be easier to get to 11th & Market, one of the corners the Sixers are planning to abscond with to create 76 Place.
A big selling point for those in favor of the Sixers' recently-unveiled plan to put a new arena in Center City is the overwhelming number of public transit options mere feet away from the entrances.Īnd it's true! Philadelphia isn't known for overwhelmingly robust public transit, but the intersection of 11th & Market is potentially the most transit-available intersection in the city.
