St. Petersburg Coliseum: oak floor, access and event power

N079 | https://glmedia.tech/technical-help/coliseum-st-petersburg-piso-energia/

The Coliseum is at 535 Fourth Avenue North in the City of St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida. It is a municipal ballroom for exhibitions, conventions and shows; its capacities do not describe an arena or a St. Pete Beach hotel.

Check oak-floor loading and the equipment route first. The city lists 50 lb/ft² and 8 ft × 8 ft doors; neither figure alone approves wheels, ballast or a suspended load.

What should be checked before supporting an LED display on the floor?

Identify the area, base, ballast and reactions at each support or wheel. Technical Information lists a Floor Load of 50 lb/ft² on red oak without concentrated-load details here. Do not divide weight by the whole ballroom area to justify a small foot, or apply the figure to the stage or balcony without confirmation.

Submit distribution and route to management before dispatch. Agree on surface protection and the area’s capacity; a protective sheet does not establish structural strength. If the load or area is not accepted, hold the installation and prepare a reviewed alternative.

Published data | Use limitation

Main Floor | 15,500 ft²; not a roof capacity

Permanent stage | 37 ft wide × 20 ft deep × 5 ft high

Floor Load | 50 lb/ft²; supports and route need confirmation

Will equipment fit through the doors, and can it hang from the ceiling?

The specification lists two service doors 8 ft high × 8 ft wide and two docks. Compare the entire package, including its cart, with usable clearance and route turns. Coordinate unloading and access to the raised stage before dispatch; a door dimension does not guarantee arrival at the final position.

Published ceiling height ranges from 15 ft to 34 ft at the center arch. This is height, not WLL or a point drawing. Request identified battens or points, allowable loads, attachment method and authorized personnel for the actual assembly. Until reviewed, do not propose hanging LED, truss or sound from a building element.

Can the LED use any three-phase connection?

The specification lists 100 A three-phase at stage right and 200 A three-phase at stage left. It does not give voltage, frequency or connectors there. Send equipment loads and ratings and obtain those details, protection and the delivery point before selecting distribution or adapters. An ampere figure does not establish LED power-supply compatibility.

Rental is four wall: electricity, equipment, lighting, sound, personnel and additional load-in or rehearsal days are charged separately. Stagehands are required to operate stage equipment, sound and lighting. Agree on connection and operating responsibilities before setup; do not extend a staffing condition to unconfirmed exclusivity over all AV.

Does a Coliseum booking authorize haze or lasers?

No. Prepare a plan showing audience, LED, stage, control, storage, exits and fire equipment. For each effect, provide equipment, laser class if applicable, fluid or product, position and rehearsal/show times. Ask management for the fire-review route and permits applicable to that space.

A booking, insurance or police service does not authorize the effect. The city’s Special Events unit publishes outdoor assembly, street-closure and police-service processes; do not treat them as indoor emission permits. If equipment acceptance is missing or the plan changes, keep the show without the effect and submit the revision before activation.

Can attendance be calculated using only the published 1,800 capacity?

No. The specification distinguishes 1,800 standing, a 1,100-person banquet and 600–800 layouts with a dance floor. LED, bases, control, stage and exits change usable space. Submit the actual layout to confirm occupancy and circulation.

When is the Coliseum insurance certificate due?

The city page requires evidence at least 30 business days before the event: USD 1 million for injury or death per occurrence and USD 1 million for property damage, or a USD 1 million combined limit. It requires The Coliseum and City of St. Petersburg, their agents and employees as additional insureds. Confirm the option, endorsements and legal names against the Use Agreement.

Does the 2022–2023 rental table set this event’s price?

Do not budget a current event from that table. Obtain a current quote separating space, setup, rehearsals, electricity, labor, insurance and permits. Confirm the date and scope of each charge before finalizing the budget.

Venue conditions and deadlines refer to the linked documents. Confirm the applicable revision and event addenda; a booking or service order does not replace technical approval or authority permits.
