Originally opening as Marine Stadium in 1995, it underwent a significant renovation and rebranding as Penn’s Landing Concerts/TD Pavilion at Penn’s Landing in 2005. More recently, it became Td Pavilion At Highmark Mann following a sponsorship agreement. The venue has a capacity of approximately 25,000 and regularly hosts large-scale concerts across various genres including rock, pop, country and jazz. Its open-air design provides views of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and the Delaware River. The site has faced periodic debate regarding its long-term viability due to logistical challenges related to access and infrastructure.
