Not really a suggestion of 'what to do'...
... in Tampa, but a word of warning. Please make sure you arrive inside your airline's recommended minimum check-in time (which was 45 mins for NW).

We arrived at 44 mins before departure (literally one minute late) and we had already been off-loaded. They put us on 'standby' and we raced to the gate but the seats had been given away to other standby pax (who had just missed the minimum check-in time from the previous flight!) right on the 45 minute mark.

We then spent the next three hours waiting for a flight out.

Not a pleasant experience. (And one of us was a NW Plat so status didn't help us one bit!)

With regards
