A Philadelphia Wedding Venue with Rooftop Views and Room to Celebrate

Stateside Live! is a Philadelphia wedding venue and entertainment destination in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, formerly known as Xfinity Live! A $20 million-plus expansion introduced AVA Rooftop Bar, an expanded outdoor plaza, new performance spaces, and more ways to bring a celebration outside.

Located between the city’s stadiums, the property offers rooftop gatherings, private dining, and receptions with built-in entertainment capabilities.

Event Spaces & Capacity

Choose from distinct indoor and outdoor spaces, each with its own atmosphere:

• AVA Rooftop Bar: A two-story, open-air pavilion with skyline and stadium-district views. Each level accommodates up to 250 guests, with flexible event setups, dedicated audiovisual capabilities, craft cocktails, and private event menus.

• Live! Arena: Accommodates 150 seated guests or up to 850 at full capacity. A 58-foot LED screen, DJ booth, and mezzanine give the space options for presentations, entertainment, and personalized event displays.

• 1100 Social: An indoor and outdoor setting with a covered patio, outdoor bar, and two fire pits.

• Miller Time Beer Hall: Features long communal tables, a built-in stage with audiovisual equipment, an enclosed beer garden, and a patio with a fire pit.

• Blue Moon Beer Garden: An open-air gathering space with bar and table seating, LED screens, and audiovisual equipment.

Capacity depends on the selected space and event layout; AVA’s figures are event capacities rather than confirmed seated wedding capacities.

Catering & Bar

Stateside Live! offers event catering with appetizers, food displays, buffets, carving stations, and desserts. Menus range from shrimp cocktail and grazing boards to pasta stations and barbecue selections.

Philadelphia favorites include Geno’s cheesesteaks and Chickie’s & Pete’s Crabfries. AVA adds craft cocktails and its own menu options, giving couples another direction for an engagement celebration, welcome party, or reception.

Guest Experience

Guests can gather inside, head onto a patio, or celebrate above the stadium district at AVA. The nearby Live! Hotel Philadelphia offers an overnight option for guests extending their visit.

The expanded PBR Backyard adds an outdoor stage, dance floor, and VIP sections, while the redesigned plaza brings larger outdoor events into the mix.
