MIDFLORIDA Amphitheatre
The 20,000-capacity shed at the Florida State Fairgrounds — covered pavilion seats up front, a huge general-admission lawn behind, and the summer tours that skip everywhere else in the Bay.
Plan your visit
MIDFLORIDA Amphitheatre
4802 US Hwy 301 N, Tampa, FL 33610
Lawn is general admission — first in, best spot. Blankets yes, chairs no. Clear-bag policy at every gate.
- Capacity
- ~20,000
- Opened
- 2004
Getting there
- From mid-Pinellas: Gandy Blvd east to I-4 east, exit 7 (US-301) and follow the fairgrounds signs.
- From north Pinellas: Courtney Campbell to I-275 south, I-4 east to US-301 north.
- From St. Pete: I-275 north, I-4 east, exit 7 — plan 50 minutes on show nights.
Parking
- Fairgrounds lots are huge but unpaved in spots — wear shoes you don't mind dusting.
- Preferred parking is worth it if you're leaving right after the encore.
- Exiting takes 30–45 minutes on sold-out nights; the US-301 south exit clears fastest.
Know before you go
- Gates open about 90 minutes early — the lawn fills by the opener for big tours.
- Bring a small blanket and sunscreen; there's almost no shade on the lawn before sunset.
- Summer storms are routine — the pavilion is covered, the lawn is not.
