I&#8217;ll just say as a Governor, as a huge Sixers fan, I want to make sure the Sixers are here for a good, long while, and that they have a great facility to play in. I think it&#8217;s a great thing that the owners have proposed doing this without any public money. They&#8217;re not asking me as governor, and I&#8217;m not aware they&#8217;re asking anyone for any kind of public money. I actually think what the city did a couple of weeks ago, they said &#8216;we&#8217;re gonna just carefully study this, let&#8217;s make sure we&#8217;re taking some of the noise out of the conversation and looking at this thing in a really thoughtful and concrete way.&#8221; The best thing we can do right now is study this issue carefully and make sure we&#8217;re making the best possible decision for the future of the city, the future of the neighborhoods, the future of this great team, and the future needs of our Commonwealth.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s been an interesting few months for the arena proposal, which morphed into some kind of grotesque and politically-charged hot-button topic. You have the Chinatown opposition, the mayoral candidates being asked about it, differing opinions in the sports ecosystem, and lots of wrangling behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro, now in his new role, just wants some due diligence and meaningful discussion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a big believer in thoughtful, calm, rational review of things, and frankly trying to bring people together,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Here in the (the capitol) it&#8217;s about bringing Democrats and Republicans together. For this, it&#8217;s about bringing different components of the city together, and there are a lot of differing interests here. The only thing I&#8217;m not calm about is rooting for the Sixers and being a sports fanatic. I get very emotional (laughing).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the full segment from CBC:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro Joins Crossing Broadcast (5\/4\/23)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AvrnmCUDWl0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was on Crossing Broadcast Thursday afternoon.
