Philadelphia City Council is getting ready to jump into the plans for a new Sixers arena in Market East.Council members will have eight days of public hearings before voting on the legislation needed to build the arena.

As the Philadelphia City Council takes the first steps toward approving the newly proposed Sixers arena, five members voted "no" and cited the process being rushed and more questions needing to be asked.

Council has yet to vote on the legislative package introduced last week that would authorize the Sixers to build the controversial development.
