=== The Curse of Billy Penn === Shortly after One Liberty Place opened, Philadelphia sports fans began noting an unusual drought: * '''No championships:''' Between 1983 (76ers) and 2008 (Phillies), no Philadelphia major sports team won a championship * '''The curse:''' Fans attributed the drought to the violation of the gentlemen's agreement, calling it the "Curse of Billy Penn" When the Comcast Center was constructed in 2007-2008, a small statue of William Penn was affixed to its top beam, "restoring" Penn to the highest point in the city. The Phillies won the World Series that fall, and many fans declared the curse broken.
