This will be the place to be for pregame. It will feature a DJ, merchandise and lots of exciting giveaways from OWL’s partnering sponsors. Doors open to the Wells Fargo Arena at 1:00 pm for those wanting to get seated early. Attending this event will get you to the arena early so that parking and traffic are less of an issue.
It was previously announced that ZEDD would be performing at this year’s Grand Finals, but now he will not be alone. Questlove of The Roots will also be joining him as the DJ for the event, making this year’s musical lineup one for the ages.

Attending the event live at the Wells Fargo Event Center is what fans traveling in from all around the world are coming to see. But, if you’re stuck watching at home, don’t fret. Fans can earn these amazing sprays and icons for streaming the event on Twitch.
There’s plenty more to do in Philadelphia during your stay, however brief it may be. Cost-effective ideas include seeing the many historical museums the city has to offer, attending a Phillies game, or stopping by the filming location of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Paddy’s Pub. Grab a cheesesteak while you’re at it (just don’t get the kind with cheese wiz, go for provolone).
So, whether you’re going alone or with friends, everyone from The Game Haus hopes that this can be a fun and exciting way to experience all the OWL has to offer on it’s biggest stage.
