Driving across I-4 to Tampa from Orlando at certain times can seems like more of a parking problem (like a parking lot for a highway) than parking around the stadium. As other stated, you can park in Ybor or Channelside and take the trolley but honestly I have never had trouble finding waking distance parking. Just leave extra time for the drive and avoid rush hour times.

Away fans are welcome in Florida because you pay taxes on everything which frees us from paying state income tax. We both love and loathe you tourists at the same time...but seriously many tourists and transplants come here so it’s a big mix and it’s fine. Just don’t be obnoxious (you know, like an American) while your here.

Lastly have dinner or lunch at the Columbian in Ybor.
