MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater warns underage drinkers

Tampa, Florida-- Despite its multiple name changes, one of Tampa's main concert and event venues has a clear stance on at least one thing- a "zero tolerance" policy for underage drinking on the premises. 

The newly named MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater- first known as the "Ford Amphitheater" before becoming "1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheater", and then briefly the "Live Nation Amphitheater"- has joined forces with local law enforcement and the Florida State Fair Authority. Together, they are warning anyone underage that they will strictly enforce drinking laws.

Before Wednesday's vote members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community called the ban hurtful, insulting and discriminatory.

"It is intended to degrade and dehumanize one particular group of people who live, work and visit Hillsborough County," said Equality Florida Executive Director Nadine Smith.
