TAMPA, Fla. — The newest premium area at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre was designed to show off what a Florida summer has to offer.
It’s called The Backyard and Amphitheatre, general manager Trent Banks said it’s for people looking for something different when they come to a concert.

“We listen to the fans," Banks said. "And I think what we are constantly told is experiences right now are huge. And so, trying to find and create different experiences within a music venue is always going to be a challenge.”
The Backyard will feature a DJ, games, different food options, cabanas, and a karaoke booth.
Banks said it’s the latest feature at the Amphitheater as Tampa continues to grow as a top spot for the biggest touring acts to visit.
“We move a lot of tickets, it’s become a great place for people to come and play,” Banks said.
Fans can add The Backyard experience when buying tickets.
Access starts at $50.
The Amphitheater roof suffered major damage during Hurricane Milton, and most of the seats will remain uncovered for the rest of the year.
Banks said a new roof will be up for next year’s concert season.
