The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Tampa Bay Times Forum announced today that their FREE public skate this Saturday, October 20 from 5-10 p.m. is sold-out. The event received an overwhelming number of fans that RSVP’d on the Lightning’s official Facebook page for the event and reached capacity in less than 48 hours.

Parking for those fans that RSVP’d to the event is available at a discounted rate of $5 in the Forum West Lot located between the Times Forum and the Marriott Waterside (see map below or attached). All guests can then enter through the XO VIP Entrance off the West Plaza. Skating sessions will last for 45 minutes each with a Zamboni flood in between each.

Fans are encouraged to bring their own skates, but they will also be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Free water, cookies and popcorn will also be provided. ThunderBug and the Lightning Girls will be on hand to help with raffles and giveaways during each session and mingle with all in attendance.
