Fusion Arena: Setting a New Standard for Competitive Gaming

The Cordish Companies and Comcast Spectacor broke ground on Fusion Arena in the Philadelphia Sports Complex on September 25, 2019. Building off of the tremendous success of Xfinity Live!, Fusion Arena represents the next phase of development for the Cordish/Comcast Spectacor partnership in the heart of the Sports Complex. The $50 million world-class venue will stand as the largest new-construction, purpose-built esports arena in the Western Hemisphere when it opens in 2021. The 60,000 square foot arena will feature seating for up to 3,500 guests, as well as 10,000 square feet of dedicated space for the Xfinity Training Center, broadcast studio and team offices. Its primary tenant, the Philadelphia Fusion esports franchise, is one of 20 international teams competing in the Overwatch League. In addition to serving as a premier destination for competitive gaming events, Fusion Arena will also host a variety of live entertainment programming and experiences.
