News Notes

Sports

We’ve got our eye on a potential Rays stadium deal this week — as does everyone. The Hillsborough College District Board of Trustees meets today for a formal vote on using the Dale Mabry Campus for the new mixed-use ballpark project. (Tampa Bay Business Journal)

Announced

This year’s Gasparilla Parade will be extra special, because the one and only Stanley Cup Champ Pat Maroon will lead it as grand marshal. Welcome back, Big Rig. (That’s So Tampa)

Try This

A “Heated Rivalry"-themed dance party? Yeah, Hollander, we’ll be there. Tickets to what’s sure to be a sold out, euphoric night of dancing at The Ritz Ybor on Thursday, Feb. 5, are on sale now. (That’s So Tampa)

Today Is

National Coffee Break Day, a reminder to partake in one of the country’s favorite pastimes — stepping away from your desk to grab a cup of joe. Fortunately, our area has no shortage of choice.

Sports

The countdown is on to the greatest tournament in golf. The Masters returns to Augusta National in 80 days, with the world’s best men’s golfers vying for the coveted Green Jacket. Get in the spirit, connect with friends, or practice your short game at a TBAY golf course.
