Is there a mall anywhere near the St. Petes Forum?

there are 2 within just a few miles. They're not within walking distance. If you pull up a map, the 2 i'm speaking of are right by the airport, while the forum is downtown.
tampa is a great city!!

that's awesome. Is it at channelside? I used to live right by there. Channelside is an open-air shopping/bar/movie theater/cruise terminal right next to the forum

yeah, he (they?) played at channelside a couple of years ago when i lived there. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST
it's not really a mall per se, but it's a 2-story complex with a huge outdoor courtyard in the center with outdoor escalators, etc. there's an aquarium there, a high-end bowling alley, tons of bars/restaurants (with outdoor seating), a hooters, and a cruise boat terminal. You'll be in the heart of it. If there's an event at the forum, which is right next door, there will be mobs of people. Even if there isn't, it's a hot spot. I'm jealous as hell
if you remember back a couple of years, 2 Carolina panthers cheerleaders were arrested for extracurriculars in a bathroom.. that's the place

That has to be the place because he mentioned a courtyard. and there's a Bon Jovi show at the forum that night...we'd be doing a preshow gig. I'm hoping we can work it out.

i lived a few hundred yards from there. there will be TONS of people, especially for bon jovi, regardless of whether or not they're going to the concert. usually there is a band set up right next to the forum (and not at channelside shops).

Right now I'd say it's a 50/50 chance we'll be doing it. I'm trying to iron out all the details. (flights, backline, hotel, etc)

I've been there before. It's a cool place. My parents live on Passagrille beach in St Pete's Beach and my 70 year old father took me there.
