Team Building at Amalie Arena Fan Zone Plaza
Actually fun team building — no trust falls.
Team building at Amalie Arena Fan Zone Plaza doesn't have to involve trust falls or escape rooms. A full-motion racing simulator turns Amalie Arena Fan Zone Plaza into a tournament arena for a half-day or full-day offsite, and the energy it produces is the opposite of the standard HR-led exercises your team has already endured.

How this event plays at Amalie Arena Fan Zone Plaza
The format that works: arrive at Amalie Arena Fan Zone Plaza, split the team into bracketed groups, run qualifying laps, then run elimination rounds through the day with a final showdown between the top seeds. Every guest drives. Every guest has a moment on the leaderboard. And the cross-department rivalry that forms over lap times is the actual team building — people who didn't interact before lunch are coaching each other by dinner. Our operators facilitate the whole format: explain the cars, coach new drivers, run the bracket, MC the finals. Your people leaders at Amalie Arena Fan Zone Plaza just show up and participate.
