Ampitheater loses Monday concert

Tuesday, July 26, 2005

---

The Anger Management Tour concert scheduled for Monday night in Tampa has been moved.

The concert features artists like Eminem, 50 cent, Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz.

The concert was to be at the Ford Amphitheater, which is currently at the center of controversy, but has been moved to the St Pete Times Forum.

People who live near the Amphitheater say concerts there are too loud. The venue is at odds with its neighbors and the Environmental Protection Agency regarding acceptable noise limits.

According to the show's promoters, Cellar Door, the move is their request. Their web site says:


St. Pete Times Forum President Ron Campbell said he has the fans in mind as well.

"We decided it was in their best interest," Campbell said. "So the show goes on here at the St. Pete Times Forum."

Campbell says the amphitheater and forum are competitors, but also partners.

"It's a strange relationship," he said.

Concert ticket holders can either exchange their tickets or get a full refund starting at 8 a.m. Wednesday. Refunds are only available at the point of purchase.
