Josh Vignona on What’s Reopening in Tampa, Florida: Covid-19
The Great Tampa Reopening: What to Know
Of course, many Tampa attractions and businesses started the “reopening” process last May, providing access to patrons in line with state and local capacity and safety requirements.
But as vaccine numbers rise and cases trend downward, local organizations, venues and others continue to readapt their approach, including:
Tampa Ballparks & Sports Teams
As of now:
- The Tampa Bay Rays plan to allow 9,000 fans to attend Opening Day (April 9 vs. NYY) and subsequent home games. This amounts to about 20% of Tropicana Field capacity.
- As the Spring Training home of the New York Yankees, George M. Steinbrenner Field (aka Florida’s Yankee Stadium), will host about 2,400 fans (25% capacity) for each pre-season game. The same holds true for each Tampa Tarpons (Single A) home game.
- Hometown hockey champs the Tampa Bay Lightning are one of the few NHL teams to allow in-person fans this season. Between 3,900 and 4,000 (23% capacity) may attend each home matchup at Amalie Arena.
- The NFL-Champion Tampa Bay Bucs hosted about 25,000 football fans at Raymond James Stadium for Superbowl fifty-five (LV), more than a third of the stadium’s 74,000 capacity.
