Amalie Arena: Tampa’s Premier Entertainment Destination

If you're in Tampa, Amalie Arena is worth knowing about. It's in the Water Street district and hosts a steady lineup of events year-round.

It's home to the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning, so if you're into hockey, this is the place. Beyond hockey, there's basketball, wrestling, and a regular rotation of big-name concerts. Artists like Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and Elton John have all played there.

The arena itself is well set up, with a good mix of food and beverage options, premium seating, and a family-friendly layout. Being right on the water also means you're close to the Riverwalk and Sparkman Wharf, both good for a pre- or post-event walk.

Whether you live here or you're just visiting, it's worth checking the event calendar to see what's coming up while you're in town.
