The Rays/The Bucs & the Lightning

Everyone wants to be in Tampa but yet no one seems to show up when they get here.  The Bucs can't sell out a game, at least the pass few years, the Lightning had to go "all in" on a marketing blitz to somewhat fill their house...and the Rays are the Rays.  It would seem that the City of Tampa has streets paved with Gold Bricks, to the owners of Professional Sports Teams anyways, with a city & county leadership that is willing to drop its pants for stadium funding.  Hey, we did this to ourselves, afte the Bucs got wind of the Baltimore deal they held it over our collective heads and got a great deal.  A deal that is now a major issue between the County & the Team.  Before we run into the waiting arms of the Rays, think for a moment, is it worth blowing up our plans for Downtown Tampa?  How does the Lightning fit into all of this?  (For the moment leave the NHL Lockout BS out of the Convo)  Hockey has had its good moments in Tampa but overall fan interest had been less than stellar, let's be honest.  Yes, we all enjoy professional sports, it makes us proud when our team wins the big game.  But at some point you have to ask yourself is it truly worth it?
