1st supercross

Can't give you any advice since I don't live in Philadelphia nor have I done the VIP experience, but I hope yall have a good time. Supercross is a unique experience; it's not grassroots or as up-close as motocross, but there's nothing else quite like it. Hopefully it's a night race, because you don't really get the full experience unless it's at night, imo.

I’ve been to Philly a couple times. I liked Center City. It seemed alright. I’ve stayed at the Loews and Hilton Garden Inn. It’s not near the stadium but there’s a subway station pretty close that takes you to the stadium area. 

The VIP Experience is simply a matter of reading the schedule of events and special features and seeing if that adds up to something that’s worth the price for you. 

An SX can be a long day just with touring the pits, watching the FMX demos…etc…but, that’s assuming that they’ll have the demos at Philly? Walking the pits is a blast and there’s a lot to see…Is there’s a an open pit area at Philly? What time does the stadium open and can you watch practice?

Answers to those questions would affect my need or desire to do the VIP Experience.

Either way, I hope you have an amazing “Day at the Races”

If the weather permits, check out Eastern State Penitentiary while in Philly. Very cool experience. I've stayed at the Holiday Inn on the Navy base, which was fairly close to the stadium. Not a Philly fan, but they have a good setup at that complex, lots of parking, and a central hub with food/drinks.
