If you build it, they will come.
Occasionally you have to have a little faith, adore me and some friends of mine back in the 76s, then no one thought this location would ever become a mecca for professional sports, but we believed… If we had the infrastructure to handle a pro sports team, then our community would rally around it, of this we had no doubt, but the two of us spent years luring investors and athletes, and then in 1976 we took the first real step with our pigskin team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That helped put Tampa, FL on the map of the sports world, although not in a wonderful way at first. Tampa Florida and our beenjoyed Bucs were a joke, a terrible one, and one that lasted for too long. I run a successful Heating, Ventilation, and A/C contracting business, so profitable that I started sub-contracting out all of my toil to local crews a few years ago. The need for Heating, Ventilation, and A/C services in Tampa, FL is all year round, there is no off season for cooling because it stays so sticky and humid all the time. The extra income generated by my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation usually goes right back into the Tampa community, such as helping to get modern roads and locations built to entice sports teams. I often say that my corporation is cooling systems, but my passion is growing Tampa, FL into a sports juggernaut. They call Gainesville, Florida “title town” because of all the championships won by the Gators, despite the fact that I want Tampa Bay to be the modern title town!
