Taste What’s Next
Welcome to the future of food, beverage and hospitality at South Philadelphia’s new arena – your home for news and updates as we build an experience worthy of the city. This is just the beginning and the site will grow alongside the arena itself, so check back as plans take shape. Whether you’re a foodie fan who wants to stay in the know or a local business owner curious about getting involved, this is your source for what’s ahead.
Our F&B Vision
The arena’s food and beverage program is being designed to bring the energy and flavor of Philadelphia to every event – nostalgic-yet-elevated arena fare, favorite hometown spots and locally sourced ingredients, and products from local artisans. The goal is simple: a lineup that’s unmistakably and unapologetically Philly.
Levy's Role
As the market leader in sports and entertainment hospitality, Levy will operate the arena’s food and beverage program. We bring a proven track record of creating exceptional fan experiences and partnering with local and independent businesses in every market.
Our company serves fans across a network of award-winning restaurants, iconic sports and entertainment venues, zoos, cultural institutions, theaters, music festivals and convention centers, as well as the Super Bowl, Grammy Awards, U.S. Open and Kentucky Derby, among other major sporting events.
Our Commitment to Philadelphia's Food Community
Creating a great food and beverage program starts with understanding the community. Through conversations and ongoing relationship building, we’re learning from Philadelphia’s food community and helping shape an arena experience that celebrates the city and its people.
This program is being built with intention: to showcase and reflect the diversity of Philadelphia’s culinary scene and create opportunities to elevate small and local businesses through the fan experience at the arena. Our goal is to create a platform for local entrepreneurs to reach new audiences and showcase the flavors, stories and traditions that make Philadelphia unique.

Ways to Participate
Philadelphia’s food and beverage community is diverse, and we’re exploring a variety of ways businesses may be part of the arena experience. While partnership opportunities will continue to evolve as planning progresses, potential pathways may include concept partnerships, featured products or ingredients, and special activations.
We recognize participating in a venue food and beverage program can be new for many businesses. As the project progresses, we’ll share resources, educational materials and partner programs designed to help businesses learn more about opportunities connected to the arena. For now, we encourage interested businesses to submit their information and stay connected as additional resources become available.
