Comcast Spectacor and The Cordish Companies have announced the grand opening of the highly-anticipated $20 million transformation of Stateside Live! scheduled for next month.
“As we look ahead to the future of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, the newly transformed Stateside Live! represents an important anchor for what’s next,” said Dan Hilferty, Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor. “Coming on the heels of a transformational renovation project at Xfinity Mobile Arena, this incredible sports and entertainment destination offers an exciting glimpse into the growth, innovation, and experiences we’re building for fans and the community.”

The upgrades have transformed Stateside Live! into an indoor–outdoor entertainment destination, designed to host everything from casual gatherings and dynamic game-day activations to large-scale concerts, festivals, and private events
Officials added that Stateside Live! will also now be the only destination in the city where fans can choose to watch the game indoors, with a high-energy, stadium-inspired atmosphere, or outside under the open sky, with the same immersive viewing experience.
New elements of the plaza expansion include:
AVA Rooftop Bar
A two-story, open-air rooftop lounge located in the plaza, offering stunning views of the stadium district.
Coors Light Stage
A cutting-edge outdoor performance stage with a capacity of 5,000 attendees, including 1,000 premium seats, situated at the center of the plaza and featuring advanced audio and lighting production.
PBR Backyard
The expansion nearly doubles the footprint of PBR Philly, adding a dedicated outdoor stage, dance floor, and new VIP sections to create a fully immersive country entertainment experience.
Blue Moon Beer Garden and Stateside Crush Bar
A sun-soaked open-air beer garden built for socializing, sports watching, and celebration serving a full seasonal lineup of brews alongside the Stateside Crush Bar, featuring freshly hand-squeezed cocktails made with a variety of spirits.
“More than 15 years ago, we made a commitment to invest in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex with the belief that it would evolve into one of the nation’s premier sports-anchored entertainment destinations,” said Reed Cordish, Principal of The Cordish Companies and CEO of Live! Hospitality & Entertainment. “With this expansion, we’re introducing a new, hospitality-driven experience for fans, visitors, and the broader Philadelphia community that elevates how people come together to gather, celebrate, and connect.
