The Philadelphia 76ers’ proposed Center City arena cleared a key hurdle Thursday, advancing from committee to the full City Council for approval after several delays. The amended legislation increases the Sixers’ community benefits agreement by $10 million, bringing it to $60 million. A team spokesperson said Thursday afternoon that the amendments were still under review. The committee passed the package in a 12-4 vote amid protests and chants of “You’re all sellouts” in the chambers. Councilmembers Jamie Gauthier, Jeffery Young Jr., Nicolas O’Rourke, and Rue Landau opposed the measure, while Councilmember Kendra Brooks was absent.

A final vote is scheduled for Dec. 19 during a special City Council meeting.
