The Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa is being billed as the most state-of-the-art venue of its kind in the nation. The Ford Amphitheatre was not built for sports, but for concerts; it will host 30 to 40 a year.

The $23-million concert venue boasts optimal sight lines and top-quality sound. The Ford Amphitheatre, at Florida State Fairgrounds in the Tampa Bay area, has no walls, super acoustics, no bad seats and 258 bathrooms.

The Ford Amphitheatre is a brand new world-class entertainment facility on the grounds of the Florida State Fair in Tampa. It features 9,900 reserved seats and a Festival Lawn capacity of 10,500 and has a 7,200 square foot stage, large enough to accommodate most any major concert production. Ford Amphitheatre boasts state of the art sound and video capabilities, including two huge 20 by 30 foot video screens flanking the stage.

The amphitheatre offers a dance floor in front of the stage. The area up front can fit 800 to 900 seats, or the seats can be removed, making room for 1,400 dancers. That's good news for energetic bands that don't want to play to rows of fans sitting in chairs. For other acts those chairs will be put back in place.

The Ford Amphitheatre is the first to feature a fabric roof. But the roof is not just for decor: developed for NASA, the fabric blocks out a lot of the sun's rays. On a hot summer day the temperature under the roof can be nearly 15 degrees cooler than the surrounding area.

The amphitheatre has more than 200 "points of purchase" where you can find typical concert food such as pizza and hot dogs as well as fancier fare in the form of chicken wraps, sausage sandwiches and vegetarian salads. The Ford Amphitheater has a full-liquor license and several bars.
