Usher and Chris Brown close the R&B Tour on Friday, December 11, 2026, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. That date is from Live Nation’s tour announcement, which we read on 13 October 2026.
Quick answer: the stadium is 3.4 straight-line miles from Tampa City Hall. That is not a walk from downtown, and it is not a parking price. Stay downtown if you want the city, or search for a hotel near the stadium if you want a shorter ride. Confirm the route for your own hotel.

The stadium is not downtown Tampa
OpenStreetMap places Raymond James Stadium on West Tampa Bay Boulevard. The straight-line distance to Tampa City Hall at 306 East Jackson Street is 3.4 miles, measured on 13 October 2026. Use a rideshare or a booked car. We are not publishing a walk time or a parking price for this game, because we did not read one on the stadium’s site for this date.
The same distance, for every NFL stadium, is on the NFL stadium distance table.
Other dates still ahead on this tour
These are the later dates on the same Live Nation page. Each link goes to a hotel guide for that building. The guide was written for another event, so read it for the neighborhood and then confirm anything that was specific to that event.

How we checked this guide
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page is when we last reviewed it end to end.
- Parking rates, shuttle fees and transport times are taken from the port’s, venue’s or operator’s own published pages and from each hotel’s own website — not from aggregator sites.
- Distances and journey times are the figures the venue or transit operator publishes, not our estimates. Where we give a distance, we say what it is measured to.
- Hotel amenities (breakfast, shuttle hours, pet and parking policies) come from each hotel’s own site. These change more often than anything else here, so confirm them when you book.
- Room rates are deliberately not listed anywhere on this site. They move daily, and a price written one month is wrong the next. Our links take you to live pricing instead.
- We have not stayed at every hotel we write about. Where we contacted a property directly, the guide says so and gives the date. Where a figure comes from a third-party report rather than an official source, we say that too.

Affiliate links: we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
We start at the venue and work outward: walking time, shuttle and transit options first, then guest review scores and value for money. Hotels can’t pay to be listed. Some links are affiliate links, so we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Prices and availability change daily, so always check live rates before you book.
