You are allowed one bottle of sealed water to bring in with you as well as a gallon sized bag of food. Bring them if you don't want to spend a fortune. The sound was great, even close to the back.

Marin James

Saw Train who always performs amazing. Good seating & it's always comfortable here. I've sat in many locations ranging from right in front of the stage to the lawn but the experience is always great!

Theresa Matye

Always see Dave Matthews here. Please TAKE CASH with you and Never use your Credit Card at any of the vendors!!! Never had a problem till this show on July 29th 2015. USE CASH!!!

Sabrina Haines

Pay for Premier Parking - you get to park close to the entrance and you get to use a different exit than all the General Parking people. May be expensive , but worth every penny to avoid lines .

One of the best venues in Tampa for a concert ! From 50 Cent, JellyRoll, NeYo and more have performed here! ????????????????

Catrina Van Lengen

Best place for concerts . Seriously. Bring a bag full of food and REALLY BOG water bottles. Food and drinks are very expensive there.Lawn tickets are a blast. You meet SO many people and it is a lot

Julie Beach

SMALL craft beer table w variety & local brew . You can generally move around a little, Under The canopy has good views throughout.

Great venue, but you gotta start using the cameras to project the opening acts. Don't be cheap . Lord knows the people buying tickets and beers aren't...

Alyson Brennan Diaz

Go VIP if possible! Parking and VIP access is great at this venue! Just saw OZZY & Andrew WK last night!

Nikki F

Beer is insane, so pregame before you come in. Bodyshots are also a great way to get alcohol in. Then just buy a soda . Other than that sitting in the lawn is great. Bring a blanket and relax.

Houser Roberto

Lawn GA is great. The sounds perfect and much more comfortable than seats. Bring a Blanket

If you need to get to I-4 east when leaving, make a right out of the MLK entrance then another right to pass the casino and most of the traffic back.

At the Florida State Fairgrounds: Want to grab some dinner before a show? Check out Gino's Bar & Restaurant . Great Italian food , fun atmosphere , and a cheap tab ! – Team Live Nation

Sarah V

Save yourself some money and eat before you get there. Beer is way expensive . But the venue is awesome. Bigger than I expected! Really nice. I don't think any seat is a bad one.

Charlie

Only complaint is merchandise area too close to entry. Seats and sound is great

VIP Parking is worth the $20! Shorter walk in, and less traffic on your way out.

Craig Smith

Live Nation FEES FEES FEES. Sound quality is always sub par compared to other venues.

Lisa Libertore

Park @ Hard Rock, get Player's Club card (free) and ride shuttle to/from concert . Lawn seats may be inexpensive but VERY FAR from the stage. Pay for a real seat.

Zulkeira R. Stefchak

LOVE concerts here! You really get to hear the bands and their real voices so if they suck live you WILL notice! Didn't like pit seats so much..unless u like being smothered by sweaty people :/

Mooney Mj

Be careful if it is raining, the canopy leaks in places. Good selection of food and beverages.

Jer O'Connor

The parking situation was nightmarish, but at least it was followed by a mile and a half walk to get inside. Then the concession prices were truly obscene. I won't be going back there.

Vicki Brigman

get seats in the 12-16 section and the sun wont be in your face

Glenn Mangold

Music - Food and Cold Beverages

Ben Gasparini

It's fun to get rowdy with degenerates, especially when Travis barker is performing .

Roberto Amatuzzi

Don't miss DMB's two nights every year in the summer.

Live Nation Florida

Beers here are more expensive ($11 for 24 oz.) than at some legendary ballparks. The venue itself is great but come early & tailgate!

Amy R

Love the grass area for shows!

Marquis

Get to your concert 2hrs beforehand to beat the unorganized traffic!!!!!

Lisa Dupuis

Rascal Flatts was amazing!! ????

Donna Geoffroy

Goo Goo dolls were fantastic and now Matchbox 20 can't wait

Philip Murphy

Always expensive because it is a major venue but this is a great place to see any type of show

Brian Sticker ????

Panic! at the Disco was awesome‼️ 6/15/16

Holly S

Arrive early and Tailgate before the show. Getting into the parking lot is a nightmare.

Crystal Daugherty

Meaning walking distance . I won't be driving. Thanks for any help!

Heathyre Perara

Bring your own beer and get here early so you can tailgate in the parking lot ...if you buy it here it'll cost $11!

Not my favorite venue. Seems to be falling apart and doesn’t seem like anyone cares. Only good thing is the lawn area cause it has cheap tickets. Bring a chair.

Lisa Starks

Make sure to bring cash!
