The Tampa Convention Center is a mid-sized convention center located in Downtown Tampa, Florida. Its location is ideal because it has both waterfront views, and views of the skyline. In 2006, a 20-story Embassy Suites hotel opened next door, with a skybridge connecting it to the convention center. Harbour Island is right across the eponymous bridge on the other side of the Garrison Channel. It is connected to neighboring Channelside and Harbour Island via the TECO Streetcar. The center encompasses 600,000 square feet (56,000 m²) in total.

It is built on the historical site of Ft. Brooke, the original American settlement on Tampa Bay from which Tampa grew. The Super Bowl XLIII media center was held there.
