BTS Takes Over Tampa: Massive Concerts & Road Closure

0:00BTS is taking over Tampa with their massive comeback shows at Raymond James Stadium, and they're shutting down an entire road just for merch sales. The K-Pop giants have back-to-back concerts this Saturday and Sunday, plus another on Tuesday, April 28th, drawing 60,000 fans each. Night starting at 8 p.m. Tampa Bay Boulevard closes Wednesday, April 29th, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to set up the stand, with thousands of fans expected to swarm it. Daily, city leaders are warning of major traffic jams on top of the shows in a K-Pop Night Market Friday at Perry Harvey Park, so drivers better plan ahead, for delays. This marks BTS's first U.S. stop after nearly four-year hiatus, following gigs in South Korea and Tokyo, proving their global pool is stronger than ever. Officials push alternatives like the Free Teaco Line Streetcar, H.A. Hart Buses, Scooters, bikes, and free parking spots downtown to keep things moving, smooth for everyone hyped
