South Philadelphia's popular sports and entertainment hub, Xfinity Live!, is set for a major overhaul. Comcast Spectacor and The Cordish Companies are investing $12 million into renovations designed to pump up the already vibrant atmosphere surrounding Philly's sports complex. Upgrades will enhance the outdoor plaza for game days and community events, while also giving a facelift to the facade and the interior realms of this bustling venue, according to NBC Philadelphia.
Since its opening back in 2012, Xfinity Live! has become synonymous with the sports frenzy of Philadelphia, electrifying the area with not just games but concerts, festivals, and various community events. The partnership between Comcast Spectacor and The Cordish Companies has not only enlivened the sports complex but also shown a strong commitment to diversity in its operations, boasting a 45% contracting diversity percentage – and they're vowing to maintain that level during the renovation. "We are excited to announce several major enhancements to continue making Xfinity Live! and South Philadelphia a premier, dynamic destination for fans in Philadelphia to celebrate and experience the best in sports and entertainment," Phil Laws, President of Wells Fargo Center, told Crossing Broad.
Remarkable is the commitment to keep the doors open of Xfinity Live! during its comprehensive remodel. Erin Seifert, Director of Operations for Xfinity Live!, described the location as the 'living room for the community' in a statement obtained by BNN Breaking, emphasizing that its continuous operation reflects its dedication to providing uninterrupted hospitality and entertainment.
