TPA is, by a considerable margin -- about 20% -- United's busiest domestic station without a club.

After those three, the next busiest UA station without a lounge is SMF, with around 55% of the traffic of TPA.

SMF in the days of yore had a room. Now Terminal A has an AMEX lounge. Pity that wasn’t extended to Priority Pass! |
Enjoyed the new FLL club on Saturday. It was full due to ATC delays so we got the full experience as we waited the extra hours. The staff was great despite the difficult conditions.
No views anymore but a nice, comfortable lounge with the modest (but decent) UC menu for dining. Now if only there were visible signs of construction for new EWR Club that was supposed to be open by now. |

^ -- didn't realize RDU was getting a UC
My one and only UA trip this year is early August (thanks UA for still offering reasonable mileage upgrades to J on RDU - SYD) so will report back if opened by then. |
RDU club
FYI I just flew out this morning (July 16) and the club at RDU is not open. Couldn't find anyone to ask about it even. I'll try again when I return on the 19th. Was crossing my fingers I'd get to see it!

Sure you got the correct airport? SMF is Sacramento California.
I haven’t been to the SMF lounge but have been impressed by the Escape product elsewhere. |
Any update on TPA? Was there last week and while in baggage claim I happened to be looking at wifi networks and saw the "United_Club" (or however it's normally formatted for the lounges) as an option. The optimist in me was hoping they were testing the network for the future lounge...

FWIW, I suspect the SSID "United_Club" sounds like a awesome rouge hotspot. |

No, TPA has only been speculated with banter here. UA has not publicly announced anything wrt a club at TPA.

I believe TPA is *planned* for the 2020 capital budget, so there’s no work underway presently and of course nothing is finalized. Subject to change... |
I have heard that either a club will open up either by security in the current terminal or in the new terminal . |

This is my understanding as well. I can only hope! I have been living in the TPA area for 8 years and the lack of a club sucks. All the while I see more and more flights, 6-7 gates in use constantly, even more GS/1K boardings. Its time !
