The Philadelphia Eagles head south to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL’s 2024 wildcard weekend. Many fans will be traveling to Florida for the first time with little knowledge of what to expect. First things first, you don’t need a coat (well, maybe at the airport while you’re in Philly). Tampa Bay is known for its warm, sunny weather, as well as its rich cultural heritage, including the historic Ybor City district. Once a hub for cigar manufacturing, Ybor City is now known for its vibrant nightlife and entertainment.
Yuengling, America’s oldest brewing company, has a bottling factory in Tampa Bay and offers free tours to its residents and tourists. Tampa Bay also has a thriving sports fanbase, with three major professional franchises operating out of cigar city. Since 2020, all three teams have made deep playoff runs, with two of the three teams winning it all.
The Tampa Bay Rays won the AL pennant in 2020, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in 2021, and the Tampa Bay Lightning winning back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2020, and 2021.
But that doesn’t matter right? We live in Philly… we just need something to do while we down there.. well here you go!
