Rocket Intentions | Philadelphia
Plan Philadelphia with a central city stay and a simple stadium connection.
Philadelphia's stadium district sits south of Center City and benefits from a direct Broad Street Line connection. That makes a central hotel attractive for many visitors, while South Philadelphia can work for short, match-focused stays.
