The time Tampa Bay Lightning fans have been waiting what seems like forever for is finally about to arrive. In just 15 short days, the Tampa Bay Lightning will take the ice at the Amalie Arena for the first time in the 2017-18 season as they square off against one of their closest rivals, the Florida Panthers.
As we all know, 19,000-plus fans will be filing into the Amalie Arena, located in the heart of Downtown Tampa, to witness the action for themselves. Unfortunately, the Arena can only hold so many people per game.
