My wife and I will be coming down from Atlanta. Staying at the Crown Plaza hotel.
Welcome! Check out the map on the first page of this thread and find us in the lot!
So everyone will be hanging out where the yellow pin is on the LOT and VENUE link?
I wish Id joined the board earlier so we'd know people. This is our second show this year and actually second show ever. Ive been listening to Jimmy for quite a while but when I went to Tallahassee for my first show this year I was hooked!
Well this is how you get to meet people! and yes the yellow pin There is a group of trees there that is where we set up last year!

What is still lacking that needs to be brought that we could pick up somewhere between the airport and the HI Express? Also, does anyone know where the best place around Tampa to get baked oysters on the half shell?
We just bought our tickets from ticketmaster so we don't have to deal with it for the next two days. The mighty sombrero will be glowing from 201 - row B this show.
I've got a Caribbean soul I can barely control, and some Texas hidden here in my heart.
While thinking about my attempt to watch the Gator game on Saturday at 12:30 with the small TV I have, I thought about the lack of a power source. The battery I have only lasts for one half of football. Anyone have a TV setup or a generator or power source that I might be able to plug into so we don't lose the game feed?
If not, I'll be listening to the game on Sirius.

Still trying to work the Gators back into the title hunt eh?
I have a power inverter that plugs into a cigarette lighter.
I'll have it with me if you need it.

Let's just say if all goes well in T Town, I might be missing the opening notes of HOT HOT HOT. With a 5 O'Clock kickoff and a 8 O'Clock showtime that leaves me in a pickle. Guess I could always hope for a miracle of Bama put the Tigers away in 3 quarters and not having to worry bout the 4th. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have a small TV in the parking lot if you want to watch the game there.

That sounds great. Where r u going to be set up at? We are staying at the HI Express so we'll be right across the road. This is our first Tampa show so we'll be kinda blind leading blind.

We're in the large tailgate area with everyone else. If you go to page one of this thread, there is a map and the tailgate spot is marked with a yellow pin. Or, Martin Grita Guy or the others on here can lead you to it. Most of the info you'll need is on page 1 of this thread.

OK, tickets in hand (Sec 104 Row 3 - only after trading up three times!), Reservation Conformations printed (We're at the Staybridge Suites near the Citibank Center), Flight Info printed, and now I'm printing off the maps that I need.
Anyway, I was looking at the Tampa Ford Amp website and saw this and thought I should pass it along:
