Stateside Live! is the home of five restaurant and entertainment venues including, Victory Beer Hall, PBR: A Coors Banquet Bar, Broad Street Bullies Pub, 1100 Social and NBC Sports Arena. The district also features an outdoor plaza that is home to the Miller Lite Concert Stage. Often called “Philly's fourth stadium”, the venue has invested over $150 million in original design as well as renovations over the years.[2]

History

Starting in 2008, Comcast Spectacor and Cordish Company partnered for the proposed Art Nouveau design, making use of neon- and LED-lighting to accent structures and walkways. The original Philly Live! concept included an assortment of restaurants with outdoor seating, a hotel along Pattison Avenue, and a spa or health club.[3] In December 2011, Cordish and Comcast Spectacor announced renaming and reinventing the project as Xfinity Live!.

Construction began in the summer of 2011, and the first phase opened in late March 2012 as Xfinity Live!. The development concept was redrawn as a dining and entertainment district. Main attractions of the complex include the NBC Sports Arena and its 32-foot HDTV.

In 2024, Cordish Companies announced a $15 million expansion to the complex that will include a new outdoor beer garden and other outdoor entertainment.[4] The expansion is expected to be completed in early 2026. On August 21, 2025, Cordish Companies announced that the complex would be renamed to "Stateside Live!" after Stateside Brands, a Philadelphia-area vodka company, purchased the naming rights.[5]
