The Fashion District? Few are happier about this project than its owners.

As for SEPTA, there are few places that are better situated for public transit access. The proposed arena sits on top of all 13 regional rail lines and the Market Frankford line. It is a short walk away from the Broad Street Line, West Philadelphia trolleys, and PATCO. Two million people live within a short walk of a one-seat ride to the arena.
