Historic Venue

This extended Philadelphia stay represents AEW’s first-ever events at the 2300 Arena, a venue that gained legendary status as the home of Extreme Championship Wrestling throughout the 1990s. The intimate setting, which holds approximately 1,300 fans, has long been considered hallowed ground for hardcore wrestling enthusiasts.

AEW’s History of Venue Residencies

The Philadelphia residency continues AEW’s strategic approach of establishing extended stays at landmark venues. The company’s first major residency was at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida, which served as AEW’s home base during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to July 2021. The 5,500-seat amphitheater, connected to the Jacksonville Jaguars’ stadium, hosted the majority of AEW programming during this period.

In summer 2024, AEW established a successful residency at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas, featuring multiple episodes of Collision and ROH’s Death Before Dishonor as part of the “Path to All In Summer Series.” The Arlington residency included 10 live wrestling events in the intimate 2,500-capacity venue.

The upcoming 2300 Arena residency represents AEW’s third major extended venue partnership and first in the historic Philadelphia wrestling landmark that gained fame as ECW’s home territory.

The extended Philadelphia run continues AEW’s strategy of establishing regional hubs for multiple event tapings, maximizing production efficiency while creating unique opportunities for fans to experience several shows in a single location.

Ticket information and on-sale dates for the Philadelphia residency are expected to be announced in the near future.
