Ranking Philly Sports Experiences, Housing vs. Third Spaces & Where to Scream
Our city's professional sports teams are on a roll — the Eagles won their home opener, the Phillies look like they’re headed to the playoffs, the Union is on a 10-match undefeated streak, and the Sixers pre-season game with LeBron James is in just a few weeks. But not every sports-going experience is the same in this town. Host Trenae Nuri talks with creative producer Siani Colón and Fae Ehsan, nonprofit professional and board member at 5th Square Advocacy, about the best and worst Philly sports fans, stadiums, and performances. They also discuss this Grid Magazine article about civic spaces in the city and a Reddit post about best places to let out a scream.
