   There's even some that use the name of a body of water: the Tampa Bay   
   teams. The city is just Tampa, not Tampa Bay. They use the name of the   
   body of water so as not to exclude fans from St Petersburg.   
      
   BTW, which is the nickname of the city? There's the Golden State   
   Warriors, but that's a nickname of the state, not city.
