Great game! Being a Tampa resident, it's not very often you get to watch post season football in a great environment where you can afford to take the whole family. Tropicana Field actually works out to be a great venue for college football. Not to mention, it gets LOUD in there and the atmosphere is great! We will be going every year! August 23, 2010
