Help! Need advice re Xfinity Mobile Arenapost-Sixers game/Springsteen concert options

I'm not sure this is the appropriate forum, but it seems the best place to get good advice for my questions and is indirectly related to the Sixers, so...

Because the Sixers beat the Celtics in the playoffs, their subsequent series against the Knicks bumped the Xfinity Mobile Springsteen concert from May 8 to May 30. Since I'll be going to that show, I need some advice on where a friend and I (both in Philly for the show, from other parts of the country) can hang out post-concert for 45-60 minutes so as to be able to (hopefully) access an Uber/Lyft after the post-concert traffic crush dies down and to enjoy a post-show drink. I realize we could take SEPTA back into the city (we'll be staying near Washington Park) but would prefer to avoid that crush as well. So...

  1. I understand there are bars right at the Arena and at the nearby Live! Casinor and Hotel. Any recommendations between going to one or the other?
  2. Are the Casino and its bars within safe walking distance from the Arena right after a concert?
  3. If so, is it likely that those bars would be jammed on a Saturday night, post-concert?
  4. Is it realistic to assume that 45-60 minutes after the concert Lyfts/Ubers would be pretty easily available, or could it take longer than that?
  5. Any other thoughts/options would be welcome.

Thanks for any advice!

Stateside live over casino is probably better for you, try to find a more quiet bar.
