Amalie Arena, Tampa

The Arena was a great concert venue. Everything moved smoothly getting in and out. The acoustics were good and staff seemed well organized. We enjoyed the event. The only downsides were: 1. The drink pricing. It made the baseball and football pricing look like bargains. Around $20.00 for beer, and $7.00 for a 16oz soda or water. Food was priced high but not inflated quite as much. 2. Once you get a beer or mixed drink, the cups don't even fit in a majority of the cup holders. There were some that worked, but many rows had different styles of cup holders, or didn't have any at all. So you end up putting you drink on the floor which leaves it prone to get bumped over...

If going to see a live show, concerts and various performances you will have a great audio experience. Do to the shape of the arena inside creates an amazing concert venue. It is also fairly easy to navigate around inside. Parking is amazing, cannot be possible to not find you ride. The outside environment is entertaining in itself. Musicians playing around the venue, there is an outside smoking section, where you can go and get back in. I have not found much of that available at the majority of the venues I visit at the least, 15 times a year. Handicap accessible.
