I flew *in* to TPA for a meeting on the Monday after they hosted a Super Bowl. Kind of funny, actually: a fairly quiet empty flight going in (guessing AA added extra flights), and then you deplane into the terminal that is absolutely heaving with far more people than you ever see there.
My meeting was in downtown Tampa, and by lunchtime there was a huge outdoor tent in the middle of downtown selling Super Bowl merchandise for 75% off. Actual licensed stuff, just excess from the weekend. Kind of a weird vibe being in hotels, restaurants, etc. that week...as if everybody had a long hangover...
