Sixers change start time
options
 

As expected, the Sixers have moved the start time of Wednesday's season opener to 6 p.m. to accommodate fans wishing to watch the World Series game across the complex.

The Sixers and Toronto were scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m.

The Sixers said the AT&T Pavilion at the Wachovia Center will remain open after the Sixers game late into the evening for fans to watch the baseball game with half-price domestic beer specials and delicious food, including Chickie's & Pete's world famous Crab Fries and chicken tenders. After the Sixers game, access to the AT&T Pavilion will be free and open to the public.

    Kudos to the sixers for being good sports about what this city needs to focus on. I applaud you sixers.

    I am glad to see that the Sixers get the point. Could you imagine how upset Joe Banner would be if one of the papers pointed out that the Eagles are the only team in Philadelphia not to make the playoffs last year?
