Philadelphia’s sports fan haven, Xfinity Live!, is gearing up for a comprehensive $15 million renovation, according to details released by The Cordish Companies and Comcast Spectacor. The revamp, which is set to be completed by early 2026, will introduce a host of new features including an upscale rooftop bar named AVA, an airy beer garden, and a refreshed PBR Cowboy Bar complete with outdoor stage for live performances. Additionally, the plaza will be transformed into a central two-story hub offering a variety of Crush drinks at the Crush bar and an upgraded turf area for community engagement,

Further elaborating on the expected offerings, fans and visitors can anticipate more advanced LED screens for an immersive sports-watching experience and the inclusion of public art installations in the vicinity where local food trucks will find a dedicated space to serve Philadelphia’s diverse culinary tastes. These enhancements were part of a broader plan communicated by The Cordish Companies and Comcast Spectacor hoping that by integrating such spaces for communal gatherings, Xfinity Live! will remain at the beating heart of Philadelphia’s Sports Complex for years to roll out, “We are proud to continue investing in South Philadelphia to create an unparalleled experience for guests and fans,” Blake Cordish, Principal of The Cordish Companies, shared with

While maintaining operations throughout construction, Xfinity Live! is not just about the enhancements, it is also about broader ambitions within the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. “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,” Phil Laws, Chief Operating Officer of Wells Fargo Center, in a statement obtained by

This transformation appears to align with prior announcements made earlier this year when Comcast Spectacor laid out a $2.5 billion master plan for the Sports Complex. The plans included not just the Xfinity Live! refurbishments, but also envisioned a new hotel, concert venue, and additional retail spaces which are expected to contribute significantly to the development of South Philadelphia. “The Sports Complex is a unique destination that is home to all of Philadelphia’s professional teams, and this is a natural next step in its evolution that will create more gathering spaces for visitors for a variety of events,” Laws said, as reported by
