and keep in mind that the nfl has made it easier to sell enough seats to have it televised......... and the bucs still can't get it done............... they may have to start tarping over a bunch of their seats like jacksonville had to do.
only when they're in the playoffs every year. when they're not winning a lot of games, they have trouble selling tickets down there. when tampa had their run from '97 to '07 when they made the playoffs almost every year, they sold out but since then they have struggled getting butts in the stands.
