Sports Fans, Get Ready: A Week of Pro Action in Tampa

It's shaping up to be a thrilling weekend for sports enthusiasts in Tampa, as all five major professional teams, plus USF football, are hosting games this Saturday and Sunday. The Tampa Bay Lightning, Rays, Buccaneers, Rowdies, and Sun FC, along with the USF Bulls, are all set to play, creating a unique multi-sport event that doesn't happen often.

This confluence of events, a rare occurrence statistically, is a dream for local sports fans. The biggest challenge is the logistical issue of the Bulls and Bucs sharing Raymond James Stadium. The Bulls are moving to their on-campus stadium next year, which might make this event a little less rare, but it will still be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

While it might be hard to see all the games in person, there is a not-entirely-impossible scenario where you could catch parts of multiple games. For instance, you could start with the first half of USF's game on Saturday and finish with the Rays' game on Monday. If you're planning to attend, we'd love to hear about your experience!
