Going to one of the upcoming concerts at The Sound at Coachman Park in Clearwater? If it's your first time visiting the new venue, here's a look at your view of the stage from every section from back to front. This will help you find the seat that fits your budget but also gives you a great view of the stage.
Although it's smaller in scale, the seating layout is similar to the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre. Covered seating is set up in the sections closest to the stage. Once you get out on the lawn, seats are uncovered - but ticket prices are usually quite a bit cheaper.
Seating
In total, there are approximately 4,000 covered seats and there is room for about 5,000 on the lawn. It's rare, however, for the venue to be completely filled. The Sound tends to bring in acts that are appropriate for the capacity. You won't see a U2 or Rolling Stones show at The Sound. For those giant monster acts, you'll still be going to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. In fact, capacity of the new venue is actually smaller than when it was just known as Coachman Park.
Free concerts?
One cool thing about The Sound at Coachman Park that not many know is that if you don't have a ticket, you can still enjoy the music just by being in the park during a show. While you won't have a view of the artist on stage, you'll hear the music fine if you bring a blanket and relax on the giant lawn space next to The Sound.
The Sound opened in 2023. It's located at 255 Drew Street in Clearwater at Coachman Park. Local favorite Cheap Trick was the first to take the stage. Since then, other acts who have performed at The Sound include the Goo Goo Dolls, Gavin DeGraw, Ringo Starr, the Steve Miller Band, Sammy Hagar, Peter Frampton, Kenny Loggins and John Fogerty.
Entering The Sound
As you enter through the main entrance, the seats closer to the stage will be on your left.
First View
To the sharp left is where you'll find a VIP area. But this is really where you realize how much smaller The Sound is compared to the Amphitheatre. If you're under the covered pavilion, you really can't be very far away from the stage no mattter which section you're sitting in.
Section 204
Turn to the right from the entrance and you'll find Section 204.

The 100 Level Seats
Now let's head down closer to the stage. You'll pay a premium to be this close, but the view is super intimate.
Section 104
Here's your view from about midway back in Section 104.
Section 103
If you want the dead center view with an up close view of the stage, you can beat this view from Section 103.
Section 102
You really can't go wrong with seats in Section 102 of The Sound either. Not a dead center view, but still a great one.
Section 101
Finally the view from the far end of the 100s in Section 101. Still a full view of the stage even though you're far off to the side.
Section 101
Lucky enough to score front row seats? Here's the view from Row A of Section 101.
Section 102
Even better... the view from Row A of Section 102 at The Sound.

The view from the VIP Platform
Here's your view of the stage if you're standing on the elevated platform in the VIP section at The Sound.
Backstage View
I've said this since our days of hosting concerts at the original Coachman Park stage... you can't beat the backstage view. Pro tip: to avoid having to spend a lot of time looking for parking, take the Clearwater Ferry for a few bucks!
Free Concerts
I can't recommend enough for those without the spending cash to buy tickets... go to the show and sit on the lawn next to The Sound. You'll hear the show fine and it won't cost a dime!
Coachman Park Reimagined
While you're there, take some time to check out the new look of Coachman Park. The City of Clearwater really has something special now.
Things to know before you go!
Worst thing is to have to bring something prohibited all the way back to your car!
