Plans to build a new arena for the Philadelphia 76ers in Center City have fallen through, and the team now plans to stay in South Philly, according to sources close to the negotiations.The reversal comes less than a month after 11 bills related to the construction of the proposed arena,

The deal comes just weeks after a grueling legislative battle in which the Sixers convinced City Council to give it the green light to move to Center City.

After years of planning and ongoing debate, the planners behind the proposal to bring a Sixers arena to Center City Philadelphia have backtracked on the project. Instead, the team will stay in South Philly.
