About Tampa
The Tampa Bay area is a thriving entertainment market with championship-caliber sports teams and a growing live events scene supported by the warm Florida climate. Raymond James Stadium is home to the Buccaneers and hosted Super Bowl LV, along with major concerts and college football bowl games. Amalie Arena is home to the Lightning and one of the top-ranked arenas in the Southeast for concerts and touring events, hosting well over 150 events per year. Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg hosts the Rays, though the team is planning a new stadium in the area. The Straz Center for the Performing Arts on the Tampa Riverwalk is the largest performing arts center in the Southeast, with five theaters presenting Broadway touring shows, opera, ballet, and concerts. The MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in the State Fairgrounds area is a popular outdoor concert venue seating around 20,000. Ybor City, Tampa's historic Latin Quarter, is the nightlife and live music hub with clubs and bars along Seventh Avenue. The Ritz Ybor and Crowbar host concerts and events. The Florida State Fair each February and Gasparilla, Tampa's pirate-themed festival and parade each January, are major annual events. Spring training baseball brings the Yankees to George M. Steinbrenner Field each February and March. The subtropical climate makes outdoor events comfortable from October through May, while air-conditioned indoor venues handle the hot, humid summers.
