1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheatre Concert Schedule
The 1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheatre is the biggest facility in the Tampa Bay Area and it is meant only to be used for concerts. It was originally named the Ford Amphitheatre and it is located on the eastern side of Tampa next to Interstate 4. This venue has a seating capacity of about twenty-thousand. On July 25, 2004, this facility was first opened. The inaugural name for this outdoor amphitheatre was the Ford Amphitheatre. About 6 years later in 2010 a referral service for lawyers purchased the naming rights. These “so-called” naming rights began on June 10, 2010 and go for a total of 3 years until June 10, 2013.
Just in case you were wondering, the Tampa Bay population absolutely hates the new name. The local paper, the St. Petersburg Times even had an online poll asking what people thought of the new name and the majority of Tampa Bay residents responded with opinions such as they though the name was stupid and/or we hate the name.
Many music festivals are held at this state-of-art amphitheatre annually. On the first Sunday of every December, it hosts an all day rock festival which features mainly alternative rock bands. Over the years many complaints about excessive noise have been made by nearby residents so the venue has put a wall up so noise is kept to a minimum.
