St Pete Times Forum Reviews

WWT suite was very nice. Amalie Arena is a great venue for concerts, Lightning Hockey, or special events.

Good sight lines. Cheap parking available nearby on the street downtown. Very loud PA inside. Nice atmosphere outside at Thunder Alley, prices are on the high side. All soda is in bottles so no ice. Big problem is no entry until one hour before the game. $20.00 for a double absolute. Found two tics for $68 a piece, center ice upstairs, otherwise resale market way to high. They claim a sellout streak, but in reality they sell tics for $20 to students right before the game. Bottom line I would go again.

There are some areas of the arena that appear unfinished still, with exposed wiring and insulation.

Went here for the Lionel Richie concert. Really liked the area, seating, crowd control, etc. I'm from South Florida but will now keep this arena in mind for future concerts!

It's a great looking arena, but I wish they'd fix the congestion issues for getting in. Everyone has to funnel through only 2-3 entrances, which makes the waiting to get in process take an hour. There are other doors available. I don't understand why they don't use those too.

The best arena in the business, when it comes to hockey!! However, I wish they would STOP putting those dumb grab-n-go machines in the arena. They are pointless, they take ten times the time to get a drink. Personally I love interacting with the awesome beer vendors that sell beer on the Carts. Very hard workers, that are always respectful and work quickly.

Excellent customer service. Whether you re attending a Lightning game in Chase Club or a concert with average seats the workers here provide outstanding service. The food and drink options are exceptional as well. We love coming to the Amalie.

During Lightning games, if you go to guest services and tell them you are the designated driver, you get bottomless fountain cokes for the whole game as well as put your name in a hat to win an official jersey. Great facility for concerts, or arena football, to ice-capades.

Bob Seger concert was Fantastic but why they do not use the large screen in the center for people to see better from the upper levels totally sucked!

Parking your car takes at least an hour when going to an event. You have to hunt someone down for disability assistance and if you're not lucky enough to find someone be prepared to walk... and walk... and walk. Food and beverages are outrageously priced. Restrooms are smelly and dirty.

for a hockey rink- the atmosphere is great! food is average price for pro sports and the fans are top tier (even as a Red Wing's fan)

Good arena for concerts and sports. However, the food and drinks are VERY expensive. Also noticed how for some artists, and thus patrons, all the restaurants are open, but for others, only a handful are open. Why is that? All restaurants should be available to all patrons for all performances.

Never really went deep inside but I love this place. Spacious and accommodates numbers.

Everything was good except those crazy unrealistic food prices.

Nice place to view the circus. Easy to get to and out of.

Great venue...lots of inexpensive nearby offsite parking.

I am going there for a Selena Gomez concert october 30 2013 for her stars dance world tour but I already know her so....

Great stadium. I've seen many amazing shows here. They pull a ton of awesome artists. Also the lightning hockey team is awesome to watch.

Omg saw Globetrotter here. Staff was amazing, helpful at every corner. I was running late, with their help i found my seat just in time for the show.

Great venue and a Great win for the Bolts, oh and local parking was only $12 that's half the price of other venues

Enjoyed a concert here. They were smart and turned many of the men's rooms into ladies rooms. most seats are great location to stage. The only dislike is that they no longer sell bottled water, soda or beer. Everything is transfer to plastic cups with no cover. But they had to make that change because people suck and would whip water bottles and beer cans at the performers.

There food prices are to high!!!!! And of course their drink prices are the same!!!!!!!!@@

No shuttle service for handicapped also all roads where shut down so you couldn't get to parking lot

Great place for skinny people! But I'm fat and the damn seats are too close lol.

Amazing! Came to see the Ranger / Lightning game and was very impressed with how the stadium kept us all engaged.

Obviously the concession prices are pricey but it's an awesome arena. Great spot to watch hockey. I wish the would have not changed the party deck's name.

Great venue for concerts. Good sound and seating has good views. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Club level is very quiet and food and drink options are top notch.

It was an amazing and beautiful arena as huge and amazing experience!

$17,,00 for a beer, great atmosphere and probably the best in NHL so I think you should double the price and give people more t-shirts or hats

Really nice arena. I've been there for hockey games and a concert. I haven't found a bad seat in the place.

Good concert ve ue. VERY poor signage directing you to parking garages

If your going to Disney on ice make sure you buy the light up toys outside they have cute stuff for half the price

Great Venue for the Tampa Bay lightning games and concerts as the well. plenty of parking and things to do before and after outside in the courtyard

The stadium is huge, clean and very well built. I liked the arena. All seats have a good view! That is all that matters!

Too expensive. Food was horrible. Carnival food is better.

Very nice place to see Jeff Dunham
Peanut is my favorite
Jeff included all of us his photos and video
He was awesome

Trans Siberian Orchestra was awesome in this venue!

One of the best Arenas we visit lightning games are extremely exciting staff very helpful beer prices are off the chart hurts my wallet

The suites are amazing. Watching the Lightning gang from the suite was fabulous.

This is a must in Tampa. Enjoy the good sound if you go to an event or a great hockey game.
Thunder alley is perfect to watch the game is you did not get a ticket. Walking around the area is really nice also

Bit of traffic but it's expected. GREAT EVENTHOUGH WE POST

Went for a concert it was great the only complaint I have is the concessions were very high-priced but that is to be expected at an event like that

Always a great place to go to see a concert not a bad seat. The sports venues are awesome too

Great experience. Watched Lightning beat the Bruins. Enthusiastic crowd. Adequate parking.

Great events and upscale arena. Parking is never a problem.

Lets go Lightning! When the lightning aren't playing here I've attended the Circus, concerts and many other events. Lots of different food options to please everyone. Bring lots of cash.

Great environment. All employees were helpful and friendly and made for an especially good time!
