Tampa Mayor Wants Super Bowl Seats Filled at Raymond James Stadium… With a Twist
Super Bowl 55 in Tampa is going to have a very different look than what we eagerly anticipated when it was first announced we’d be the host in 2021. Much has happened and we’re certainly not out of the woods with COVID-19. And February 7 is fast approaching. It’s been debated for months whether or not fans should be in the stands. Right now, Channel 8 says the NFL plans to sell about 20% of the seats.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor has an idea. Instead of football fans with deep pockets who pay thousands for a single ticket, she wants the seats filled by health care workers who’ve been vaccinated. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is a fan of the idea. Goodell says “These frontline workers have put their own lives at risk.”

It's hard to do a pecking order, but generally anyone who's vaccinated and has put themselves at risk to help us get through this past year... I'm all for them getting to go. 👍
