The Sixers have announced an open practice next Saturday, Oct. 10th, to be held at the Spectrum. I will be in attendance and hopefully I'll see some of you guys there. More details after the jump.

The practice begins at 11 a.m., doors open an hour earlier. Iguodala will address the crowd, the team will go through warm ups, shooting drills and then scrimmage. Single game tickets also go on sale the morning of the 10th, and you can purchase them at the Spectrum.

I'm kind of hoping for an Eagles Training Camp feel, with throwback jerseys and little kids and chants, but I know it won't materialize. More than anything, I'm just excited to see this team on the floor. Let me know if you plan to attend in the comments.

Free you say? Pencil me in.

Brian, As we discussed on Twitter I will be there. Maybe I will breakout my Brand Jersey for that. The other reson I am going is as a season ticket holder I will be getting a Thad Young personally autographed Jersey after the practice. By the way if anybody wants to follow me on Twitter this is my handle : @Rob_STC.

Free parking as well?

Hmmn. No mention of parking, but you'd have to assume it's free, right? I wonder if the Phils could have a home game that day. That may complicate things.

It's doubtful that phillies will have a day game on that day - MLB doesn't do day playoff games any more do they?

They did as of a couple years ago. Not sure now. Didn't pay much attention to the playoffs last year :)

Never pay for parking at any Philadelphia event, park in Roosevelt park and just walk across Broad St. Turn in off of Pattison Ave and follow park drive around until you find a spot right across the street. It's free. It's kind of a hike to CBP but to the Spectrum or WC its nothing.

Is it safe and allowed to park there at night? Wonderful if it is true, thank you! I park the other direction for the Phillies for free, btw.

Yep, I've never been worried parking there, ever had an issue and been doing it for years. Tons of people do. I normally park there for the phills and birds even though it's a hike because the tailgating is good, and everyone is friendly.

Thank you, you made my day!!!

So is there a meeting place setup?

I'm not familiar with the Spectrum, so I'll put a post up tomorrow (Friday) afternoon) looking for suggestions for where to meet up.
