Tampa Convention Center is excited to announce an upcoming exterior improvement that will enhance the arrival experience for guests and visitors. Beginning Monday, January 19, we’ll begin replacing the marquee sign at our Franklin Street Entrance with a brand-new, full LED display on both sides, delivered in partnership with Xpodigital, our digital signage provider.
This modern upgrade will bring a more dynamic, high-impact presence to one of our most visible entrances and better showcase the energy of events happening inside the Center.
Temporary Sidewalk Detour Information
To safely complete the installation, the sidewalk along Franklin Street adjacent to the Franklin Street Entrance will be temporarily closed daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., through Sunday, January 25. The sidewalk will reopen every evening.
The Franklin Street Entrance will remain open and accessible throughout the project. Pedestrians may detour around the work area by:
• Walking through the Tampa Convention Center as a pass-through
• Using the stairs as a quick alternate route
• Using nearby Franklin Street crosswalks, particularly for ADA and scooter access
We appreciate the community’s patience as we work with Xpodigital to complete this exciting improvement and look forward to unveiling a new marquee that reflects the innovation, vibrancy, and momentum of downtown Tampa.
