South Jersey Sixers and Flyers fans just got their first look at the teams’ planned new arena in South Philadelphia.

New renderings from Populous and Moody Nolan show outdoor fan spaces, restaurant pavilions and a design that pays tribute to the old Spectrum.
The teams say the privately funded project could create nearly 15,000 jobs and generate close to $6 billion in economic activity over 10 years.
