In Florida, the city of Tampa will host this weekend’s showdown between the reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the hometown Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the city faces two seemingly opposite challenges at once: celebrating the home team’s slot in the Super Bowl, a first in NFL history, while keeping the game from becoming an embarrassing superspreader event. Mayor Jane Castor will have none of the downer talk. “We’ll make the best of it,” she said. The people of Tampa — Tampanians or Tampeños, not Tampans — seem intent on having a good time. Plenty of people are preparing to party, with businesses eager for some tourism. Bars are open in Florida, and they will be during Sunday’s game. Some of them are advertising watch parties, though thanks to the mild subtropical winter — the low in Tampa is forecast to be 57 degrees on Sunday — at least some of the festivities can be held outdoors. And 22,000 fans, about a third of the usual capacity of Raymond James Stadium, will be gathered in the stands. But because the Bucs are in this year’s game, only about half the fans are traveling, a benefit for virus control and a downside for hotels and restaurants hoping to make up for business lost during shutdowns. With many big-name sponsors and their clients staying away, venues that cater to business executives and the wealthiest fans are also expected to suffer. “Of course, you have to have a concern: We’re in the midst of a pandemic, there’s no denying that, and it’s a virus that is easily transferable,” Castor said of the Super Bowl. “But on the other hand, it can be easily managed if people take the simple steps of wearing masks and separating when possible.” Ahead of the game, she extended the city’s mask order to apply to outdoor areas of town where people are likely to gather.
