Tampa Bay, now often known as Champa Bay, is home to many pubs, bars, and restaurants that offer a wide range of game day specials. As last year’s Super Bowl Champion, Tampa has stepped up their game on football Sundays. Whether or not you are a Bucs fan, those football Sundays are better spent eating chicken wings and enjoying cold beverages with your friends.
