This esports franchise is getting a $50 million arena alongside Philadelphia's NBA, NFL, and MLB teams
All 20 Overwatch League teams will start hosting home matches in 2020, but Fusion Arena will be the first dedicated team venue.
Fusion Arena will house the team offices and offer top-of-the-line amenities.
Like traditional sports venues, Fusion Arena will offer balcony, club and lodge seating and executive suites with top-of-the-line amenities. Outside of the main event space, the arena will have a dedicated training facility for the team, a broadcast studio, and team offices.
The Philadelphia Sports Complex is growing rapidly, and Fusion Arena is right in the center.
“We are thrilled to bring this ambitious idea to life and celebrate the arrival of Fusion Arena with gaming enthusiasts throughout the region and beyond,” Joe Marsh, Chief Business Officer of Spectacor Gaming and the Philadelphia Fusion, said. “This project places esports alongside all the major traditional sports that call South Philadelphia home.”
The Philadelphia Sports Complex is currently in a state of renewal. The Wells Fargo Center, which houses the Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers, is currently undergoing a $250 million renovation. In February, Comcast Spectacor and The Cordish Companies announced plans for an $80 million office building in the complex called Pattison Place.
Here's what the new venue will look like from the outside, according to design renders.
