considering there aren't any hotels or anything you can (or would want to) walk to nearby. Delegates and special guests will need to be bussed in from Center City where everything including their hotels are. Broad Street and 95 will be a nightmare every time a dignitary needs to get there.

Once inside the arena it's great, but it is a bit removed from the action, unlike Cleveland where the arena is right downtown.
