The Opportunity

Tampa is a hotbed of die-hard professional sports fans, including those who pull for the MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays, the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, as well as strong ties to University of Florida athletics.

Lionel Messi’s arrival to the MLS has turned into a feverish desire for soccer in Miami, and this excitement has extended out to all of Florida.

As is the case with much of Florida, Tampa is also home to gorgeous golf courses and golf fans, all of whom provide opportunities to be new customers.
