So I'd read how baseball's Tampa Bay Devil Rays attendance is quite poor - how last week's rematch of the 2008 World Series could only muster a half-full Tropicana Field.

But I just saw this article from last week about the NHL: "Signs show Tampa market unfriendly to Lightning".

Apparently Lightning games were "below 90 percent capacity on average" for the season.

Yikes.

This gets me wondering about the Bucs and the ... huh, they don't have a basketball team, do they? Isn't it weird how Florida can have more hockey teams than basketball teams? It's just wrong, really.

Anyway, you just have to wonder if people in Tampa just don't like going to sports.
