⭐ Don’t miss
- The Tesla coils — After a Lightning goal, two Tesla coils in the rafters fire real lightning bolts across the arena — no other building does this.
Beyond the park
- Tampa Riverwalk — The arena fronts the Riverwalk — stroll the Hillsborough River to Armature Works or the Florida Aquarium before the game.
