PPL Park, a state-of-the-art 18,500-seat Major League Soccer stadium, serves as Philadelphia Union's
home. The catalyst for a $500 million waterfront revitalization project, PPL Park is expected to "KickStart
Chester" by bringing renewed life and vitality to a historic location in need of a spark. Public support from the
State of Pennsylvania, Delaware County and the City of Chester reinforced private support for the mixed-use
development, which is helping to drive a "renaissance on the river" in Chester.
The stadium is ideally located less than 10 miles south of the Philadelphia International Airport, with easy
access to major roadways such as I-95, I-476, US-322 and PA-291. Additionally, the Northeast Corridor
Amtrak, Conrail and SEPTA rail lines run two train platforms within a short distance from the site.
