Thanks very much!!! It was my first HOCKEY game...I have been watching hockey only for a few weeks, purchased the cable option "NHL on ICE" through my cable provider. My partner is Canadian, she has been a wonderful teacher. I love the Tampa Bay Lightning as their skating and team spirit along with the ability to pass the puck is awesome!!! I haven't been a long time fan...BOY!!! IS IT GROWING. It was so easy to book the flight, get a car and even the hotel package. Getting the ticket was even easier! It all started when we recorder the game from the night before, watching it Sunday morning...I looked at my girl and said let's go to a game...she asked which one? I said Tampa Bay who else...but they're not playing anywhere close. How about a trip next weekend. We left out Friday night arrived about midnight, visited a friend Saturday morning for brunch, saw some sights in Tampa Bay, took a shuttle to the game and the rest is HISTORY. THIS WON'T BE THE LAST TIME, IT WAS SPECTACULAR!!!! LET'S GO LIGHTNING!!!!!

The ticket prices were reasonable. Beer and food was more expensive then average; $10 for a beer is a bit steap. Great location and plenty of activities for kids and adults alike.

This was the first professional ice hockey game that I went to, and even though I now live in Florida, I'm originally from New Jersey, so we were rooting for the Devils. Neither team scored in the first period, the Devils scored 1 goal in the second period, then the Lightning scored a goal in the third period, tying up the score. Game went into Overtime, and neither team scored. Then it came down to a Shootout, and tension mounted as one by one, players tried to score, until finally, the Devils scored the winning goal! It was a totally unforgettable first game for me to see.

I love ice-hockey anyway, but actually seeing an NHL game is the US was brilliant. The pace and skill of the players is quality. St Pete's is a welcoming enough venue. Prices are quite steep mind, so take enough money to break the bank. But it was totally worth it.

The game was awesome, the Lightning played a tough game and Smith stood on his head. The shootout was a plus, even though we lost. Club level is nicer than most peoples homes, with a bathroom outside almost every stairway and drinks right there. The Forum is definetly a great venue.

As a tourist from the UK me and my wife thought we would take in a game to see why it is so popular.

I took a group of children to the game. Purchasing tickets on-line is easy and convenient and I have done it in the past. Not being familiar with the St Pete Times Forum, I was unaware that the best tickets available would be the third level, section T. Needless to say, we were disappointed to be placed at the highest possible point in the stadium and look at many other empty seats in the third level. The game was excellent and we will probably do some more.....Maybe

Though a pre-season warm-up, the Lightning came out hot in the first and third periods, looking more like a step on the way to the Stanley cup. Two fights in the first 30 seconds of the game (and this was pre-season) showed this year's team has spunk. Forechecking, great defense on power plays, and an immaculate 2-on-goalie passing play to clinch the win--WOW!

If you have never been to playoff hockey at Amalie Arena you are missing out. They sell out every game in the regular season because of the great hockey team and the atmosphere and there isnt a bad seat in the house. Multiply the intensity by 10 and you get unbeatable playoff excitement. Gotta get there. GO BOLTS!!!

The opening introduction for the team is pretty amazing. There were lightning bolts running all through the LED screens surrounding the fans while they played music and had spot lights crossing back and forth on the ice. The team played a great game that went into overtime. What more could we ask for. They really know how to put on a show for the fans. Great time.

I brought my wife and my five-year-old daughter to the game. We went to Ferg's first and it was a great experience. We went into the game everybody was nice the seats were great. The game was excellent. I am a Flyers fan and they lost but the game was a very good game. At the end of the game a man sitting behind us handed my daughter 3 guitar picks and said my daughter was definitely well behaved and his daughter would have wanted her to have these. The guitar picks had Taylor Swift(His daughter) on them. All in all the experience was excellent and the venue is great

This is the second time we've been to the Amalie Arena in Tampa to see the Boston Bruins play It's lots of fun starting in the courtyard with a band playing and vendors selling food and drinks. Our seats in the promenade were roomy and comfortable My one problem was with parking. We purchased 25$ parking in the green lot and were unable to get to the lot due major construction with street closures, even with the help of a police officer. We ended up paying 20$ to park in another lot. Therefore, I recommend not to purchase parking pre game. Get there early and there are plenty of parking lots.

As a Brit on holiday, didn't really know what to expect from an Ice Hockey arena; as a spectacle, very good. My viewing is normally soccer and rugby, the breaks in play to clear lose ice got tedious pretty quickly, but understand the need. Intermission's of 20 mins! Food and drink inside arena would make anyone's eyes water, $6 for draught soda. That would get you food and drink at most soccer stadia.

We had a party of 11, including my 84 year old father. The assistance we received from the staff to ensure that my father got to his seat was wonderful. We were very appreciative of the quality of the service and the professionalism of the people. We also had an 8 month old baby with us who was there for her first hockey game---good news was that we won. Thanks to all of those who assisted with my father and made the game a great experience from him and the whole family.

Despite that the Bolts lost, it was an amazing evening. My 4 year old son was very proud to get a first Bolt Game attestation and of course we had to buy some stuff in the Bolt Shop in the Arena; it was like Disney world for me :-))) I hope to come soon again to see the Bolts win this time.

Over the years I have attended many events at the Amalie Arena from Billy Joel, WWE, and Lightning games. The Amalie Arena always provides great service and a great view. I've not been able to afford anything closer than nosebleeds but I have been all around the stadium. Even up high the view has been great. It's also one of the few places to get poutine. Bottom line, you should have a great time here.

Lightning get 5-stars for a great game. NHL gets 1-star for having an 18-minute break between periods these days. Amalie gets 3-stars. Screening takes forever to get through, not the cleanest place any more, our 3-last literally row cramped seats set us back $150.50, and the MASSIVE HD screen is so big it's hard to watch the game on the ice beneath it, at least from our seats. Concessions gets 1-star for ridiculous prices and average food like most other venues. Luke warm almost cold $11.50 "chicken" nachos, $11.00 for french fries and gravy along with a warm $6.50 20oz Coke, and a cold $4.50 20oz bottle of water. For dessert it was $7.25 for a tiny Dip N Dots and $9.75 if you wanted a "large LOL" one. We weren't laughing! Cold beer is $14-$15 each. Ouch. Our seats were in the last row and one seat was supposed to be on the aisle according to Ticketmaster when we purchased them. One seat was actually in the middle of the aisle and our other 2-seats were the same. Loved the leg room, but wish Ticketmaster would specify that I would be stepped on all game long by people in both sections to the left and right of me since my seat was dead center at the top of the stairs!

Once again the Bolt's won a fantastic game in a shoot out. I love my Bolt's and the venue is amazing as well. One caution and I think every sports fan that goes to games already knows this, prices are high at concessions. One large beer and a double shot of scotch was $33.50. But, then again, it's all in what you choose to do. The fans, the teams, the atmosphere is top notch and the staff are professional and helpful. I would go again and again if I could.

The seats were fantastic, with great sight lines. Food and drinks (soft and adult beverages) were included. Seats were very comfortable with plenty of width and legroom and cup holders. The only drawback was not knowing about the dress code in advance. No opposing team gear was allowed in the club level. It would have been nice to know this in advance, so that I wouldn't be escorted out of the club level.

First off, let me say, We LOVE the Amalie Arena. Being avid hockey fans from "up north", we fought jumping on the bandwagon to become Ligthing fans when we moved here in '88. After going to a few games with friends, we were hooked. The stadium is clean, easy to navigate, and full of energy. The 1st playoff game against the Red Wings was exciting for us. We were able to buy tickets in our favorite section - 106 - and even more surprised to see how close they were to the action. The only negative was that we had to purchase 3 tickets when we only wanted 2. We listed the extra ticket for resale at a reasonable price, but the additional charges made the total cost too high. We were unable to sell it at the stadium as well.

The hockey game was everything you want to see when you buy your ticket. The rookie goaltender for the bolts was awesome in the shut out, the team scored 3 goals and a decent fight rounded out the evening.

The Amalie was a terrific place to go see a hockey game! We had wonderful seats and, although prices for food and beverage are pretty steep, we had a great time. Bring your wallet and extra credit cards if you take the family.

There's (almost) nothing that beats watching a Lightning game live. Too bad they lost this game... Still it was awesome entertainment! Anyway, the seats were high up but still the sight was good and the sound was very good. And nobody can complain about tickets for 10 USD...

Second game in a row for us and another 1-2... But despite that we had a really good time, as always in this great hockey arena. Go Bolts!

As always we got entertained in this great arena and by the (except for this night not so) great hockey team: Tampa Bay Lightning rules! And for the first time have seats close to to the ice was very, very exciting.

All I can say is the Tampa Bay Times Forum is an UNBELIEVABLE venue for the NHL and believe it should be used as a Gold Standard for arenas. Staff and amenities were great and of course, the outcome of the game...Winnipeg winning was the cherry on top!

The seat was very nice also a great view of the huge screeb from center ice. Just be aware that if you are the other team sitting here you prob will enjoy it the penalty box is right in front of you! Had a good time i just wish the bolts had won.

Great time. I love it there. The Forum is like going to Grama's house for a family reunion and the gangs all there. Even your uncle everyone gets mad at (Bruins fans). You have to put up with uncle even though he gets under your skin. Go Bolts. I'll be the thunder, but I'm still the boogieman.

This was my wife's First Hockey Game EVER!!! We went as a Valentine's Day Gift for us. It was the BEST game we could have went to for her first!! We LOVE Tampa Bay Lightning, but are from the North, so we were going for Montreal Canadiens. We were happy they won, but also happy that Tampa came back to make a REAL game worth watching. Thank you ALL!!

The game must have been well played and the sound was exciting, but unfortunately our seats in Section 306, Row H, Seats 1 through 4 were obstructed view seats. We had an extremely poor view of the rink, and were very disappointed. Apparently this is an issue with similar seats throughout the entire arena. I am waiting for a response from the Tampa Bay Lightning as to how this situation can be avoided in the future.

I splurged ($600.00+) to finally experience a Lightning Game from the front row. I've attended over 20 Lightning Games over the years. Boy, I was not disappointed. Having the play inches from my seat was all that I had imagined. The sounds of skates on the ice, the banging of players on the glass, the crowd noises behind me............it was GREAT. My only regret, I'm not wealthy enough to see more games from this perspective. It was a great experience I'll never forget.

I am not a season ticket holder and do not understand all the rules of the game, but this game was so much fun and exciting that I am thinking of becoming one! They played with their heart and scored beautifully! The forum was packed, the new screen over the ice is huge and it was a great time! Can't wait for the next game! I will be going back!!

The Lightning home game was fantastic! Not only did the Lightning win the game with their stellar performance, the organization goes all out to please their fans. The newly renovated Forum is state of the art making it a wonderful experience all round.

Three lightning goals in the first 3 minutes or so was awesome. Really a great experience.
