Your town, your team, your Philadelphia Fusion will soon move into their brand new eSports arena, which is being built adjacent to Xfinity Live at the sports complex.

But the place isn’t done yet, so the boys will play elsewhere in the meantime, and “elsewhere” is The Met on North Broad Street and Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
