Jetfan13 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 St Pete has a bunch of small breweries all within walking distance of each other. cool area, and a short Uber ride to the stadium. We usually stay in Madeira Beach in a NO KIDS hotel but that's a bit far to the stadium. St Pete is a fun area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I catch a Rangers game annually, a Yankees Rays game etc but the downtown is not very vibrant. The football stadium is a few miles from downtown. I love down towns like Nashville and Charlotte where it is all contained in the city. Ill probably go to the Tampa game, stay at St Petes Beach. Arrive Friday, make a trip out of it. Oh yeah, Tampa is a run down sh*t hole for the most part. Especially downtown. That said, there are some nice pockets around town. St. Pete is fun for sure.

I was pulling for the lightning to make the playoffs so i could catch a game, the playoff atmosphere is great by the arena. I would rather go out in downtown st.pete over downtown tampa. St.Pete has really made strides these past couple of years. lots of nightlife. st.pete beach: Basil Leaf for great noodles and the mexican place across the street from there is very good.

That said, Shad Khan has invested a lot into gentrifying downtown. It's on the up and up. The Riverside area has become something really cool now. Tons of residential mixed in with retail, restaurants and bars. Great little area you can walk around and get a solid variety. Similar to Tampa, Jax has it pockets of greatness but because of the size of the city, it's just a bit more spread out than Tampa. I mean, Jax Beach living is the best Florida has to offer IMO. Both cool cities though. Both on the upswing. They are the only cities I'd live at in the state. Check out these 2 great articles for Jax and Tampa. Our markets are booming!!!! https://www.forbes.com/pictures/feki45egmef/10-cities-americans-are/#4593e084617f https://www.forbes.com/sites/samanthasharf/2017/01/10/full-list-where-to-invest-in-housing-in-2017/#40ba753654c9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEWNYJETS Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Flying down on the 9th with 2 sons from CT, 3rd son driving up from WPB and will be our chauffer. Sister has a beach house in Gulfport she is letting us use. Never been down there before but looks like a fun area. Return home Monday night. I'll ask if there is room for camper in driveway!

Gulfport is sort of a run down but up and coming arts fartsy place. Could be worse. Youll b close to downtown st pete, which is heaven plus great beaches. Tampa is 99 percent slum. Downtown is a bore. Dont expect much. If anyone wants advice, get a cheap rental car and stay in downtown st pete.

If there's a Lightning home game it's a great atmosphere. If you wanted to be closer to the stadium I'd stay by the airport, but there's less to do. Theres NOTHING to do at the airport. Theres NOTHING to do downtown. CHANNSIDE is decent.... Ybor is a lil new orleans type place worth going. Your best bet, again, is beautiful downtowns st pete just across the bridge.

Lith Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If anyone is interested, I have 3 extra tickets for the Jets-Bucs game. I have a group of 7 going to the game - was able to buy 10 group seats for about the same cost as 7 individual tickets. Sect 335, Upper Deck, midfield, Jets sideline. Face value is $75 each. PM me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 @Matt39 @southparkcpa @whodeawhodat @JiF Flights booked. Coming in Friday AM and leaving Sunday PM. Gonna stay at that Marriot on the water in Channelside. Got a pretty reasonable rate. I'm thinking Bern's for dinner Saturday and maybe bartaco (which I looked up - I've been to one of the CT ones and it's great) Friday night? Or, is there something else that's more of a low-key but interesting spot for Friday night and maybe bartaco lunch on Saturday? Datz brunch pregame? Won't get tickets till probably 24hours before the game - done that every year and it's always successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
