David Adelman, Partner, HBSE, Chairman of the Joint Venture Building the New Philadelphia Arena

 
 

Philadelphia is preparing for a major chapter in sports and entertainment with the development of a new arena that will become the future home of the Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers. The project represents a significant investment in the city’s sports landscape and an opportunity to create a next-generation venue designed around the evolving expectations of fans, athletes and the broader community. With Populous leading the arena design, the project brings together an extraordinary team of sports, development and design expertise to shape what promises to be a landmark venue for Philadelphia.

David Adelman, Partner of HBSE and the Chairman of the Joint Venture that is building the new arena, will be joined by Cary Hirschstein of Populous, for an in-depth conversation about the vision behind this extraordinary project. Their discussion will explore the development strategy, the design philosophy, the fan experience and the challenges of creating a world-class arena in the heart of Philadelphia. The session will provide a unique perspective from both the development and design sides of one of the most closely watched new sports venues in the country.
