St Pete Times Forum Reviews

Awesome. Never disappointed when I come here. Special thanks to Amalie Oil for allowing my family and I to experience the club house seats. Just Fabulous!!!

The hockey game was awesome
.Even thought I'm not a hockey fan.

Very good venue, honestly not a bad seat in the house, drinks are pricey but the venue is beautiful.

Never been there! Planing on going Thursday night to watch the Bolts with my two beautiful daughter.

Very fan friendly place to see a game. If you're going to see the Lightning, and can afford it, get a seat on the second level somewhere. The view is great, and the amenities are pretty good. If you're considering going, do it now! Have you seen how good the Lightning are this season?! What are you waiting for?!

Great Venue... But Everything is Way Over priced!$$$$$

Just saw Phil Collins tonight and it was great. The stadium is great, and it's a lot of fun to be in, and the staff are good people

The arena itself is great (staff, cleanliness, etc.) - the infrastructure surrounding/supporting it is horrible. The roads and traffic flow are terrible for the magnitude of the arena itself. Other comparable venues in the state of Florida have much better support and infrastructure so it's unfortunate to see.

Tell the truth. For the money we paid for our seats.. we couldn't even see the big screen for all the flags and boxes and speakers. If you sit in third level, don't go more than two or three rows back. Very disappointed... I will say, it has lots of great food places, wine bar and cocktails as well as beer . I was going to try to put on the pictures, but you couldn't even see them they looked like ants.

Went to a Thursday Lightning game at Amalie. The arena was very clean and easy to navigate. Our seats were very high up, but we had a great view. Plenty of great choices for food and drinks. Very easy to exit after game concluded. My only gripe is that one of the vendors ran out of beer. Great experience! Go bolts!

Go Bolts! Thank you Mr. Vinik for all you have done for Amalie Arena and the City of Tampa!!

Great event venue. Went to the Romeo Santos Concert

Arena is nice, concerts sound good, food is expensive. Parking not so much

Great atmosphere and build up to the lightning game

Worst sporting venue ever. Was verbally abused and harassed and threatened for 2/3 of a hockey game for asking someone to have their child stop kicking the back of our seat. Their group decided to attack us all game and all amalie security would do is cause another confrontation which was going to turn physical by coming down and creating a scene. Will never return. Have never experienced such gross behavior and service at an arena and I have attended sporting events across the country at all different venues. Worst stadium venue I have ever been to. $600 for tickets out the window. Enjoyed maybe 5 minutes of the game before the drama ensued and were forced to leave early due to not wanting to be involved in a physical confrontation unnecessarily. Should never have been in that situation as a fan attending a game where we feel scared to be in our seat we paid for. Absolutely ridiculous

I cant speak for any other venues outside of the Tampa bay Lightning, but I am amazed at how well organized and helpful the staff have been at each game we have attended. I tell my wife all the time "I may never leave this place" The way they treat you there is truly special. Great team management and ownership. Well done!

Nice arena with comfortable seats. The home of the Tampa Bay Lightning!

Amalie is always great!! One of the best places to see a concert!!

Loved everything except concession pricing. 40 dollars for 1 beer 1 chocolate milk and 2 sodas. Ridiculous!

$11.50 for nachos and cheese? $8.50 for a small amount of fries? The nacho chips were out in the little paper bowls, stacked on top of each other just getting stale by the minute! I really can't believe the cost of snacks for the quality given. Very dissappointed!!! The people who work there are very nice. So that was a redeeming quality. The venue is fine. The seats don't lend for any leg room but the views were good. So it's the concessions that need some work!!!

Great place, the staff are very kind and helpful, I had a blast!

It's always fun to go to a Lightning game! And they have the best hot pretzels!!!

ELO put on a great show. I had tickets on the floor and still had a great view.

I am from Chicago and the atmosphere here is awesome. Weather it's hockey or an event. I have been to a few hockey games and a beer fest here. I will say thunder alley is a good change of pace compared to some venues. I would recommend to all!

They closed every road to handicap pickup after the game. That was horrible.

I loved how food companies can legally price gouge you because of the venue..... Shame on you PDQ, Outback, Papa Johns and many others.

Seats are just to uncomfortable. I would personally pay more for more comfortable.

We got upgraded to first level from third and it made my daughter's Night! Her first concert was Shawn Mendes and she absolutely loved it!

great arena, varied food options. parking is easy and reasonable

Drinks are way too expensive but everything else was fabulous

Went for the 98RockFest. I loved the concert but the acoustics in the arena are horrible! They really needs to figure out their current sound system.

Always very busy here with events,but so accommodating.

Being in a luxury box at.the arena with access to quality food and booze is a reminder that the rich are not like.the rest of

This Arena's Policy with regard to NHL Hockey and Playoff Discriminatory decisions places this Arena and City back to the 1960's.
This is the United States of America... Freedom of Expression? Ha!
They won't even let you attend an event if your not holding a Florida Zip Code.... a Travesty, and an Embarrassment not only to the Tampa Bay Chicken Bolts, But to the City of Tampa and the USA.
I will never Holiday, Vacation or Travel or spend any Money in this City again (BTW We where in the process of finding a retirement community in Tampa with hopes of moving, then purchasing Tampa season Tickets upon our arrival. Needless to say our "local' Real Estate agent is not happy with this decision either). I Hope you Get Sued!
I had a Dream that one day all men will be created equal regardless of who they root for...

Comfortable layout, friendly staff, clean, good view from any seat and I have sat on each level. Beautiful part of the city. Good team.

There is always something going on fun and exciting. Hockey games are out-of-this-world exciting !!! GO BOLTS !!!

The arena is awesome! Bright and modern, very fan friendly. The game experience for an NHL game is awesome!!!

Wh't an amazing experience. Will definitely go again

this is a great place to be at around the downtown area. They do have shows and concerts besides the regular hockey games here. Luckily for me I had a private tour with a group. I was able to go backstage and to see how everything is made and I was really surprised and had a good time .If u love hockey and concert this is the place to be.

Best arena in three NHL, great food options, veryenjoyable experience

Very cool arena in the heart of downtown Tampa. Tickets are super reasonably priced and the experience was great. The rooftop bar after the games has cheap beers and a great view of the Tampa skyline. Plus the Tesla coils just add character and excitement.

Cheap parking in the garage. Expensive drink inside

What a rip off. The prices of good and drinks are astronomical!!!

Seats are uncomfortable. The drink holders on the floor are a trip hazard. 50 dollars for valet parking and I had to go get my own car.

Best sports venue in Tampa Bay! Everything is excellently done!

Saw my first Lightning game. So much more exciting in person than TV.
