Bucs-Falcons game is blacked out in Tampa

Look at the Tampa Bay Rays. They had one of the best records in Baseball this past season and they struggled to get 15k folks into that stadium on any given home game. There are talks of them moving elsewhere.

Tampa Bay is not a great sports city. Hell, the entire state of Florida isnt a great sports state IMO. A lot of folks there have no allegiance to those Florida teams. They go there to retire.

So this isnt surprising to me.

We are lucky our Saints still see near sell outs even during our lean years.

You can't really compare the two. Tropicana Field where the Rays play is actually in St.Pete and in a lousy location. If they actually played in Tampa their attendance would have been much better, alot of people don't want to drive across the Causway Bridge into St.Pete. I'm not defending the Tampa fans about not supporting the football team but you can't compare it to the baseball situation.
