$15M Plans Unveiled for Philadelphia Entertainment District, Sports Complex

The Cordish Companies and Comcast Spectacor have unveiled plans for a $15 million upgrade to Xfinity Live! and the surrounding community plaza. “We look forward to offering an enhanced experience that will continue to make Xfinity Live! the heart of Philadelphia’s Sports Complex for years to come,” said Blake Cordish, Principal of The Cordish Companies.

The expansion includes external and internal elements of Xfinity Live!, with a special focus on transforming the plaza into a central two-story building featuring the AVA Rooftop Bar. “The Xfinity Live! expansion is the final step in our recent efforts to enhance the Wells Fargo Center and Sports Complex and is a precursor to our broader project to create a world-class, year-round sports and entertainment district,” said Phil Laws, Chief Operating Officer, Wells Fargo Center.

In addition to Xfinity Live!, The Cordish Companies has invested over $800 million in the Philadelphia Sports Complex with the opening of its Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia in 2021.
