After five years at the University of Delaware’s Bob Carpenter Center as the Delaware 87ers, the Sixers’ G-League affiliate is gearing up for some big changes. Next season, the 87ers will be rebranded, pending league approval, and play their games at the brand new 76ers Fieldhouse.
The arena will be a “140,000-square-foot, multi-purpose sports complex and youth training center” off of Route 13 and Garasches Lane in Wilmington that seats 2,500. It’s set to open in the fourth quarter of next year. But that’s not all:
Boasting three full-size professional basketball courts, two indoor turf soccer fields, a world-class sports performance and athletic training area, as well as retail and office space, this dynamic new facility will also serve as a beacon for youth sports in Delaware.
