Philly SSS To Be Designed by Rossetti Architects

Delco Times has the scoop.

"The 18,500-seat stadium will be constructed at the foot of the Commodore Barry Bridge in Chester, just 13 miles from downtown Philadelphia and accessible by public transit and Interstate 95. The multi-purpose stadium will feature an 11,000 square foot club, 38 suites ranging in size from 8 to 21 seats (plus an owner's suite with 29 seats), a special 2,000 seat zone for the Sons of Ben supporters club, and a party deck overlooking the field and river. Additionally, the new structure will have a waterfront park and plaza used not only for stadium entry, but also for city sponsored events such as festivals. The new stadium is the centerpiece of a $500 million entertainment, retail, residential and commercial development covering more than 60 acres along the historic Delaware River waterfront."

Rossetti is a SSS veteran. The firm designed Toyota Park (Fire) and the Home Depot Center (LAG+CHV), as well as ongoing projects RSL Stadium and Red Bull Park.
