There's a Lightning game in Tampa on NYE.

Are you sure about that? They have a home game on Sunday the 29th, and then they're on the road, I think.

Everything you need to know about Tampa: Tiger Fans will fit better at South Tampa bars. Ybor at night is a fricking nightmare, clubs and shite like that.


St. Pete is better than Tampa in every conceivable manner. Cross the bridge, hit up the beaches/downtown museums, etc.

I agree with all of this. If you wear tap out shirts you'll prefer Ybor City. At night downtown St. Pete is livelier than downtown Tampa and it's not just old people, although there are certainly a higher ratio of blue hairs during the winter. St. Pete is more of a free spirit.

Any Lance Armstrongs going to the game may want to check out the Pinellas Trail. I rode it once all the way from downtown St. Pete to Tarpon Springs.
