Props to Inquirer restaurant newshound Mike Klein, who reports on his new blog Food and Drinq that the old Independence Brewpub at 11th and Filbert Street (across from Reading Terminal Market and under the Convention Center's big hall) will become The Field House.
I'm sure the St. Joe's fans like the sound of that.
Mike reports there will be 35 50-inch plasma screens and the kinds of video games you find at ESPN Zone.
It's scheduled to open in December. My wallet is cowering already...

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.
In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.
I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.
When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.
One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.This page contains a single entry from the blog posted on October 11, 2007 6:11 PM.

I am appalled that you have written this.
We have been a quality first-run sports bar in center city.
We have a loyal customer base for NFL, NCAA Football and Basketball, and other events.
We are disappointed with your assessment of the scene
