County Moves Raymond James Stadium Coronavirus Testing Site

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — Hillsborough County's most popular testing site will reopen across Dale Mabry Highway beginning Monday, Jan. 4.

The free public coronvirus testing site at the stadium at 4201 N. Dale Mabry Highway closed at noon Thursday, Dec. 31, and will be closed during the New Year’s holiday weekend while officials move the site.

The drive-through testing area will be accessed via Raymond James Stadium Parking Lot 12, between Tampa Bay Boulevard and Columbus Drive, west of Dale Mabry Highway. Residents should enter the site from the north near the entrance to the parking lot for Hillsborough Community College on Tampa Bay Boulevard. After being tested, people will exit the site to the south onto Columbus Drive. There is no entry point from Columbus.

Digital message boards and other wayfinding signage will help motorists find the new site. This map of the site shows how residents can access Lot 12 from local highways.

Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 5, the new site will resume the non-holiday schedule of Tuesdays through Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
