If I was a student and played basketball, I would want to come here based on just visiting The Apollo. The Bucks County couple, whose son is currently a sophomore at Temple, also noted that the changes that the University has seen in recent years has made them feel safer coming to the main campus. Philadelphia residents were just as impressed by the new building. The Apollo is just what this area needs. It'll bring new life to the area.
People are tired of going to South Philadelphia to see a game or concert.
The open house had something for everybody. Children, and adults, could live out their fantasies by shooting baskets on the new basketball court. Cheerleaders led mini pep rallies. Dancers performed modern dance for the crowd's entertainment. The Owl mascots and the mascot for the Philadelphia Rage roamed the halls bringing smiles to children's faces.
