Construction To Affect Amalie Arnea Parking Circle

TAMPA, FL – The next construction project that will take place at Amalie Arena will affect people who want to be picked up or dropped off at the downtown facility.

The parking circle at Amalie Arena, located along Channelside Drive, will undergo construction starting Monday, July 24. Starting with the Shawn Mendes “Illuminate World Tour” concert on Tuesday, July 25, new drop off and pick up procedures will begin for limos, Uber and ADA guests.

For all concerts and events at the arena, ADA guests will still be able to use the parking circle for drop offs and pickups. However, parking in the circle will not be allowed, and vehicles must not be left unattended.

Drop offs for limos, buses and Uber rides will now take place in the westernmost lane of Jefferson Street, which reopened after construction completed last week. Pick up procedures will remain the same.

According to arena personnel, the new drop off location will ensure patrons who need drop off and pick up services are taken care of in a safe manner without disrupting pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The arena requested not to drop off patrons on Channelside Drive.

On non-event days, patrons who would typically use the parking circle to visit the box office, the Tampa Bay Sports Retail Store, Client Services or the administration office are asked to park in the Brown Lot while the parking circle is under construction.

Drop offs may take place in the parking circle on a limited basis, but no parking or unattended vehicles will be allowed in the parking circle during construction.
