Stateside Live! Sets May 29 Opening for $20 Million Expansion With Free Taking Back Sunday Show

The upgrade positions the South Philly hub as an early anchor of a planned $2.5 billion overhaul of the sports complex.

Overview

  • Comcast Spectacor and The Cordish Companies set May 29 as the public opening, headlined by a free Taking Back Sunday concert with Mayday Parade and Bayside.
  • The expansion adds a 5,000-capacity Coors Light Stage plus AVA Rooftop Bar, Blue Moon Beer Garden, Stateside Crush cocktail bar, and an enlarged PBR Backyard.
  • The companies invested more than $20 million over the past year to build new outdoor venues while keeping the existing bars and eateries open.
  • The venue plans summer shows, festivals, and watch parties expected to draw fans during Philadelphia’s World Cup matches and the MLB All-Star Game.
  • The project is billed as a first step in a $2.5 billion sports complex plan, and the separate arena effort targets 2030 but lacks a formal city filing.
