Bag rules at Amalie Arena
Tampa visitors heading to a Lightning game or concert at Amalie Arena often arrive with bags that won't be allowed inside, and there's nowhere inside to store them.
With no on-site lockers or left-luggage desk at the venue, you'll need to arrange storage before you arrive. Policies can change depending on the event, so check the specific event page before you pack. An empty water bottle is fine to bring along — there are bottle-filling stations inside once you're through security. With Stasher, you can store bags from $3.48 per bag per day.
There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Tampa can be booked through the website or app.

Getting to Amalie Arena with luggage
Amalie Arena sits in the Channelside District of downtown Tampa, hosting more than 150 events a year as the home of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Amalie Arena TECO Line Streetcar stop is right at Channelside Drive and Beneficial Drive, and Whiting Station nearby connects to the Fort Brooke parking garage. If you're arriving by rideshare, there's a 15-minute drop-off zone just east of Morgan Street and Channelside Drive before events. The Tampa Cruise Port is also in the Channelside District, close to the Florida Aquarium, Sparkman Wharf, the Riverwalk, and Ybor City, so cruise travellers often pass through this same stretch of downtown.
Arrival timing and accessibility
Doors at Amalie Arena usually open 60–90 minutes before the show, though that varies by event, and premium ticket holders at Lightning games are admitted 90 minutes ahead of puck drop. The arena has a step-free entrance with a dedicated accessible lift, plus a drop-off zone off Channelside Drive right beside it. Six guest lifts run during events, including an accessible lift at the northwest corner that reaches all public areas.
