If you're a wrestling fan, get excited because the 2024 Royal Rumble is coming to Tampa Bay in 2024.
The Royal Rumble has been an annual event since 1988. It is one of the WWE's biggest events of the year. And in 2024, the event is coming to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg on January 27. This will mark the first time that Royal Rumble will be held in Tampa Bay since 1995.
If you're not familiar with the Royal Rumble, it's way more than just a match; it's a battle royal of epic proportions. In the Royal Rumble, 30 superstars enter the ring at timed intervals, each with the hope of outlasting the rest and securing their spot in the main event at WrestleMania. What sets this match apart from others is the element of surprise. Participants can come from any corner of the WWE universe, including past legends and surprise returns, so you never know what you're in for.
This year’s Royal Rumble that took place in San Antonio was WWE's highest-grossing and most-viewed Royal Rumble in the company's history.
While the Royal Rumble is huge, that's not all that's planned. According to a press release, there's an entire weekend of events on the schedule. As mentioned above, Royal Rumble is on Saturday. Then Monday Night Raw goes down at Amalie Arena on January 29.
More details will be announced in the weeks to come. You can register for info on pre-sale tickets here
Florida Football Stadium Has Some Of The Cheapest Food And Drinks
Going to a football game can definitely be expensive, but one football stadium in Florida has some of the cheapest food and drinks.
We love going to professional sports games, but we also know that can be pretty pricy. Before you even get into the stadium, you may already be up to $50 deep just to park. Then you add in food, drinks and merch and before you know it, a $150 ticket turns into a $500 day. And that's not even taking into consideration the amount of time it may take for you to get there. Especially if you leave from here in Fort Myers to either Miami or Tampa, you're minimum 2 hours. Jacksonville fans are looking at more like 5 hours, plus a hotel stay.
But the good news, is that one football stadium in Florida has some of the cheapest food and drinks.
While Miami is not known for being cheap, Hard Rock Stadium is ranking high for cheap eats and sips. Betting.com looked at the price for hotdogs and beer at each NFL stadium. Let's face it, you can't go to a game without beer and a hot dog. For some reason at a game, they both just taste better. Hard Rock Stadium came in at 2nd place on the list for having the most budget-friendly prices. Hot dogs are just $4 and a beer is just $5. I think the last time I went to a Bucs game, I paid $18 for a beer!! It was a big one, but still, ouch. The cheapest NFL stadium is Mercedes-Benz stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons. Beer is $5 and a hotdog, just $2.
