Tampa Bay Times Forum

The Tampa Bay Times Forum was originally named the Ice Palace and was built as a home for the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team. But the first event was a circus! Down through the years, it has hosted concerts; ice hockey, basketball, and even football games, as well as wrestling and boxing matches, figure skating and rodeos.

This year, following a $35 million renovation, it will serve as the site for the Republican National Convention: August 27 - 30.
