Tampa can't/won't support a team..even if they build a new stadium in Hillsborough. I'm in the Bay area..I go to all the Red Sawx/Rays games every year..and you'd think you're at Fenway South. If you want to go see three games at Fenway, scalp decent tickets..for two people, you can easily spend a grand, if not more. For the same $$, two can fly down to Tampa, get a motel on the beach, get great seats at the Trop, and have enough $$ left over for several good meals, or a trip to Busch Gardens..
Thousands do it all the time.. And as for the Yankees..they own the town..
