The $700 million Stadium Casino’s Pennsylvania license is expiring, but it isn’t even open yet

Lol.

Stadium Casino LLC is on track to open its $700 million Live! Casino Hotel Philadelphia by the end of 2020 — construction is underway in South Philadelphia, structural steel is scheduled to arrive in June and the building shell should be completed by December, according to casino officials.

But first, the casino hotel at 900 Packer Ave., near Citizens Bank Park, needs to clear up a small regulatory matter: Its Pennsylvania license, granted in 2014, is set to expire this year.

That the casino’s license is expiring before its doors have opened is a tribute to a short, unhappy life mired in a courtroom, where Stadium Casino eventually prevailed over lawsuits from rivals over the issuance of a second casino license in Philadelphia.
