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.              --       Dan Tilque              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
