User:EaglesFanInTampa

☆ Save On Wikipedia ↗

Formerly known as EaglesFanInTampa since starting in 2005. I'm a longtime editor, but just dipping my toes back into the editing pool after a decade-long hiatus. Go easy on me, please. I'm still working off of 15+-year old wiki-coding I have stored somewhere in a wrinkle of my gray matter I forgot existed.


My thoughts

At some point, I'll be getting back to work on WikiProject Tampa Bay. However, right now, I'm doing odd jobs as there's only 24 hours in a day and I have other, more monetarily gainful goings on. As I get more time, I'll get back to the way things were.

Come see what I'm working on now; it's right here in my sandbox (or what I'm also working on in my 2nd sandbox)!

Here are the Spring Training venues I've been to:

† - No longer exists

‡ - On its last legs — either close to demolition or mothballed.

§ - moved from old and busted digs (though it still stands in a fantastic location) to new and cheesy digs...seriously, can't $27,000,000 do better than that???

¶ - sold out and moved to Arizona for their spring training.

+ - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Blue Jays played first half of 2021 season in Dunedin, and therefore counts as a MLB stadium.
