Visitors can expect enhancements to the outdoor plaza and improvements to the interior and exterior of Xfinity Live.
PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — After 12 years of keeping Flyers, Eagles, Phillies and 76ers fans entertained, Xfinity Live is getting some upgrades.
Visitors can expect enhancements to the outdoor plaza for game days and other events, as well as improvements to the interior and exterior of Xfinity Live. Several new gathering areas and terraces will be added, including an outdoor balcony on the second floor. Plans include built-in seating areas on the plaza, as well as planters and horticultural improvements.
The announcement came Tuesday from Comcast Spectacor and The Cordish Companies. The $12 million project is a joint venture between the two firms, both partners in the construction and operation of the South Philadelphia facility.
In a written statement, Erin Seifert, Xfinity Live director of operations, says they are excited to provide a refreshed experience for the millions of guests estimated to pass through the facility every year.
Construction is slated to begin this year and is expected to wrap up by late 2025 or early 2026. Work will be completed in stages in order to avoid disruptions to the operation.
