I live in the Tampa metro area and have been to RAYJAY countless times. Parking is good and like Lou said, stay near the airport maybe Rocky Point. Close to restaurants and the stadium is pretty close for an Uber ride.I live in Naples, but go to Tampa twice a month for work. There is tons around RJ. Parking is easy very close to the stadium. You could stay anywhere near the airport or preferably off of the cross town. Both adult things and family things very close

Main reason I likely will not attend. Not paying all that money for a headache.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Wonderful - but I have family plans on the other side of the US.
If anyone wants beach - Clearwater Beach and Siesta Key (Sarasota) are fantastic. We make a trek 1 to 2x/yr during the winter season and love them both. The timing for me is just all wrong, unfortunately.
Island Tap House (paid parking here) on Siesta Key is a cozy little bar that is walkable to other bars and the beach.
CoCo's Crush is a laid back fun place on Clearwater Beach (one of many) that is right off the beach.

You should read the Minnesota Gophers message board. A lot of complaining. However, the Pinstripes Bowl at 8-4 is a little meh but they should’ve beat us, Iowa or Purdue if they wanted to go to a better bowl game.

If Case doesn’t play and Josh can’t go could we see Anderson get some opportunities. Would love to see everyone play , but probably not.

Order them through fightingillini.com then you'll be sitting with other Illini fans.
Let's say Spencer is maturing.
Not sure he was ready for failure at Oklahoma and I think his confidence was low at the beginning of the season. But I think he'll be off the charts good next year, especially if he can cut down on some of the head scratching decisions.Not sure if you've seen the QB1 season be was in, but definitely had an ego and was immature in high school (I know, we probably all were). His talent has always been undeniable, just glad to see he's finally starting to put it all together.
It is ridiculous that someone paying to go to a bowl game has to put up with that crap for the whole game. I understand if it is their home game or they do it after a touchdown but it is 3.5 straight hours of that.
Good idea
