Not a prediction, just a hypothetical. I'm trying to find an accurate number. 150 non-sports events would be great.

"In 2018, the Philadelphia sports and entertainment venue hosted a record number events, including: 51 concerts, six WWE events, highlighted by a sold-out Royal Rumble weekend, and a 22-show Disney on Ice run. Impressively, the Wells Fargo Center remained open throughout phase III of an extensive multi-year redesign, hosting a grand total of 2.6 million fans when you factor in attendance for events featuring the Philadelphia Flyers, 76ers, Soul and Villanova basketball."

I'm unable to find more than a couple dozen concerts for any year. Is there a list of those 51 concerts somewhere?

Yeah, the Soul are dead, and though The Wings are a thing now, they wouldn't leave the Wells Fargo Center. I'd expect WWE events to stay there as well and I'm not sure a more urban arena would have any upper hand on something like Disney on Ice.

Jurassic Quest is drive-thru event due to Covid, but it doesn't look like something that would normally be an arena show.

Architecture vs. sports
 

I thought this was a highrise development thread? Can we get back to the :(subject at hand and maybe talk about sports somewhere else?

^ Apparently there can be no moderation without moderation.

nothing stopping anybody from talking about buildings, but there doesn't seem much kicking around. Plus, a new thread for any proposed building gets started like right away fast as soon as a site is announced, even if it very wishful thinking. Hey, we could talk about taxes or how great it would be if the ACC building got restarted.

To be expected, after all, BAD things happen in Philadelphia

The Gallery is already ancient history!!!

If that's the case, then we'll just allow San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Jose, San Diego, Austin, and maybe even Jacksonville surpass us in population and Philadelphia gets knocked out of the Top 10 biggest American cities. Fair enough? At least we have world class universities and colleges in our area. :yes:

CDR Submissions for October are up!

No highrises, but a good amount of mid-rise mixed-use developments throughout the city. Link here:

14-Story, 280-Unit Building Proposed in Northern Liberties

Looks like permits were pulled for a 14 story building near the intersection of Hancock and Germantown Ave in Northern Liberties. You can add yet another project to everything going on in the vicinity of 2nd and Girard! :cheers:

Thanks for the threads McGrath! Man, that entire area is on fire. Outside of Center City and University City, the trio of Northern Liberties, Fishtown and Olde Kensington is certainly the most intriguing area of the city for new construction.

Seriously, in particular the 2-3 blocks off Girard right by the El station.

Hey, I know this is slightly off topic, but bear with me.

I was going through the Canceled Projects Archive (something that I recommend all of you do in your spare time) trying to find a specific project, but I couldn't find it.

Does anyone remember the apartment tower proposal for the Parkway lot at 13th and Locust? Anyone have a picture?

I remember that. Can't seem to find anything either, on this thread or even just on google. I remember it was a nice looking apartment tower.

Remember it, but can't find anything either.

I like that development off Scotts Lane in East Falls, that overgrown parking lot is wasted potential.

Literally no clue what happened to the thread. I looked everywhere for it. Here's the building from the architects website though... the architect was ISA:

Thanks, Summers.

I like the design but I think anything built on that lot < 350 ft would be a waste of space.

I realize there is a lot of uncertainty in the market, but I'm surprised no one has tried to build an office building there. It's right above a PATCO station.
