Nationally Recognized Recording Artists Taking Back Sunday, Mayday Parade, and Two Friends to Headline Grand Opening Weekend, Kicking Off a Must-Attend Celebration

Philadelphia, PA (April 15, 2026) – Comcast Spectacor and The Cordish Companies will open the highly-anticipated $20+ million transformation of Stateside Live! on Friday, May 29, 2026, at 5 p.m. The expansion marks a significant investment that is redefining the South Philadelphia Sports Complex as a premier, year-round multi-experience entertainment destination unlike anything else in the region.

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 newly expanded property, set in the center of the Sports Complex among Philadelphia’s four beloved professional teams, will debut with a weekend-long grand opening celebration for the public. Designed to bring people together, the reimagined plaza introduces a wide range of new experiences – from elevated cocktail and beverage venues to social gathering spaces and enhanced sports viewing and live entertainment – creating an unmatched atmosphere year-round.

“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. The Cordish Companies is proud to continue reinvesting in the Sports Complex at Stateside Live! and Live! Casino & Hotel and play a key role in its continued growth as a leader in sports and entertainment.”

A GAME-CHANGING DESTINATION: WHAT’S NEW

The expansion comes on the heels of Philadelphia-based Stateside Brands coming on as the venue’s new title partner this past fall. The upgrades will transform Stateside Live! into a dynamic indoor–outdoor entertainment destination, designed to host everything from casual gatherings and dynamic game-day activations to large-scale concerts, festivals, and private events for up to 5,000 guests. Stateside Live! is now 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 positioned at the heart of the plaza, offering unobstructed views over the stadium district. AVA transitions seamlessly from daytime social gatherings and sunset cocktails to DJ-driven nightlife on weekends and Sunday day parties.

AVA will offer a crowd-pleasing food menu featuring elevated bites and fan favorites including Parmesan Herb Fries, Spicy Tuna Tacos, Lobster Rolls and Braised Short Rib Sliders. This will be the third location for AVA, joining their indoor-outdoor venue near the entrance to the St. Louis Cardinals’ Busch Stadium and their rooftop in Cary, NC.

Coors Light Stage

A state-of-the-art outdoor performance stage with capacity for up to 5,000 attendees, including 1,000 premium seats, positioned at the center of the plaza with cutting-edge audio and lighting production.

One of the Nation’s Fastest Growing Mobile Services Brings Fast WiFi and Cutting-Edge Connectivity to Philadelphia’s World-Class Sports and Entertainment Venue

PHILADELPHIA – May 6, 2025

Comcast Spectacor and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) today announced the world-class sports and entertainment venue in South Philadelphia – the current home of the National Hockey League’s Philadelphia Flyers, National Basketball Association’s Philadelphia 76ers, college basketball, premier global concerts, and entertainment events – will be renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena, effective September 1, 2025, through the 2030-2031 season.

Xfinity Mobile is one of the fastest-growing wireless services in the country and the only provider in its markets to deliver gig speeds to customers seamlessly inside and outside of the home. Comcast first launched Xfinity Mobile to consumers across the nation from its hometown of Philadelphia in 2017 and will be bringing the brand’s unmatched experience to one of the most storied venues in the country.

As part of this partnership with Comcast Spectacor and HBSE, Xfinity Mobile will bring cutting-edge WiFi capabilities to the arena so fans stay connected from the tailgate to the concourse. Xfinity Mobile customers will automatically join a supercharged WiFi experience in the arena that will deliver lightning-fast speeds with Comcast’s WiFi PowerBoost feature, all at no extra cost. Fans will be able share photos, videos, and stream with friends and family as they experience their favorite moments and action in the arena.

“Philadelphia is home to the most passionate fans in the country, and that competitive spirit is a perfect complement to the Xfinity Mobile brand,” said Steve Croney, Chief Operating Officer, Connectivity & Platforms, Comcast. “Xfinity Mobile is fueled by the largest and fastest WiFi network in America which will give our Philadelphia fans an unrivaled experience at one of Philadelphia’s legendary sports and entertainment venues.”

Since opening its doors in 1996, the Philadelphia arena has hosted the most influential sports moments and entertainment acts in the region over the last three decades. In addition to being the home of NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, NLL’s Philadelphia Wings, and Villanova Men’s Basketball – the arena continues to be one of the industry’s busiest venues and hosts the top touring musical and entertainment acts in the world. This includes iconic events such as NCAA Championships, record-breaking musical tours, family and entertainment events including WWE and Disney on Ice, and both Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

“This arena is an anchor in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex and broader region,” said Dan Hilferty, Chairman & CEO of Comcast Spectacor. “As we complete our historic relationship with Wells Fargo, we wanted to ensure that our new partner matched our enthusiasm for delivering world-class service to our fans and guests. We are committed to continuing investing in our venue to ensure we’re at the forefront of technology, innovation, and cutting-edge fan experiences. We couldn’t be more excited that Xfinity Mobile’s brand will become the centerpiece for sports and entertainment in Philadelphia.”

After the completion of its multi-year $400 million+ transformation last year, every inch of the venue has been completely reimagined. The project produced full upgrades and overhauls to the fan experience, technology, food and beverage, seating options, performer amenities, sightlines, and sustainability. Ranked in the top 10 worldwide by Front Office Sports and the top 10 in the US by Pollstar, the arena is recognized as a premiere venue for fan experience and hosts over 220 events and 2.5 million guests annually.

“Alongside our partners at Comcast and Comcast Spectacor, we have a shared vision of strengthening the home court advantage in South Philadelphia, and this announcement is another step in an exciting new chapter together,” said Tad Brown, CEO of the Philadelphia 76ers and HBSE. “Xfinity Mobile Arena will offer fans enhanced connectivity and high-speed capabilities to maximize their in-arena experience. By focusing on new and emerging technology, Xfinity Mobile Arena will allow fans to create incredible memories at games, concerts and live events in the future.”

Partnership Will Create New Home for Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers, and Venue for Top Touring Acts and Special Events

PHILADELPHIA, PA — January 13, 2025

Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) and Comcast today announced that HBSE and Comcast Spectacor have entered into a binding agreement to form a 50-50 joint venture to build a world-class, state-of-the-art arena in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex that will be the new home of the Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers.

Slated to open in 2031, with the potential to accelerate to an earlier date, the new facility will be one of the finest, most technologically advanced, and sustainable sports and entertainment arenas in the country. In addition, the partnership will include a 50-50 venture to invest in the revitalization of Market East in Center City.

By committing to both investments, the partnership will create thousands of jobs, generate billions of dollars in economic activity for the city, region and state, and enhance commitments to create economic opportunity in neighborhoods across Philadelphia. In addition, Comcast is planning to take a minority stake in the 76ers and will join with HBSE to bid to bring a WNBA team to the city.

“This is a great day for Philadelphia and the fans of our storied sports franchises,” said Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and CEO, Comcast Corporation. “We are grateful to Mayor Parker and Governor Shapiro for their leadership and are thrilled to work together to develop the premier sports and entertainment destination in the nation that will benefit the region for decades to come.”

“From the start, we envisioned a project that would be transformative for our city and deliver the type of experience our fans deserve. By coming together with Brian and Comcast, this partnership ensures Philadelphia will have two developments instead of one, creating more jobs and real, sustainable economic opportunity,” said HBSE’s Josh Harris, David Blitzer, and David Adelman. “We are grateful to Mayor Parker, Council President Johnson, Council Member Squilla, Governor Shapiro, our partners in labor and the many community and business leaders who supported us throughout this process. This is a massive win for our fans and for the city.”

“Today’s announcement is great news for the City of Philadelphia,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “I greatly appreciate the leadership of Mayor Parker and Governor Shapiro and the willingness of HBSE and Comcast to join forces, the result of which will be a world-class arena for 76ers and Flyers fans, with opportunities for more teams to come.”

“We’re thrilled to see Comcast Spectacor and HBSE unite to deliver a new state-of-the-art arena in South Philadelphia. For the past 58 years, in both the Spectrum and Wells Fargo Center, those arenas and Flyers’ fans have consistently produced an atmosphere that is among the best in sports. This visionary and forward-looking facility will take the fan experience to a whole new level where the great pride and passion of Philadelphia sports fans will continue to be on full display,” said Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner.

The new arena partnership is a joint venture with equal board representation and an HBSE representative serving as the Chair. Comcast will have the naming rights to the venue. HBSE and Comcast will also immediately focus on Market East, bringing together government officials and local stakeholders to develop a variety of options to revitalize a vital neighborhood in Center City where the 76ers had originally proposed locating the arena.

“We firmly believe we are better working together for Philadelphia,” said Dan Hilferty, Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor. “This new arena will complement other exciting developments in the area, including Comcast Spectacor’s and the Philadelphia Phillies’ plans to create the country’s top sports and entertainment district. We will all work closely together to create an unmatched experience for the fans while developing a vibrant mixed-use district that serves our community.”
