there's an ampitheater in tampa that would have been a far worse choice. the acoustics are rotten i feel bad for people on the lawn.
or jannus landing, which is ok but not spectacular.
even indoors like the ice palace AKA 'st pete times forum' is a bad choice because of the structure being uncovered steel, so the sound just reverberates so badly that the singer is three beats ahead of the music you hear.
