The Rap-Up: It’s time to get comfortable in Tampa

Home (bitter)sweet home.

On Saturday, the team announced that they will not allow fans inside the arena, putting an end (temporarily) to the facade of a home crowd.

Yes!!! Now I can happily remove the quotations from the upcoming 7-game “home” stand. https://t.co/5b8GEMhXD4

This was a failed experiment from the start that has hopefully come to a close for the remainder of the Raptors’ stay in Tampa.

I recently jumped on the Shooter & the Stache’s Sports Bar podcast to prep some Tampa folks with what to expect from their temporary basketball team.
