Trip to Tampa for Oct 8th hockey game

[villagetinker]

My wife and I would love to go to the opening game (I think) Lighting vs Flyers 7:30 October 8th in Tampa. However, this is an evening game and we are not really interested in driving 2 to 3 hours back after the game.

So, fellow villagers, does anyone know of a bus trip from somewhere near by (say 25 -30 miles) to this game? If not are there others interested, and maybe we can get our own bus?

If I get several replies, I am willing to search for a bus.

Thank you for looking.

It might be worth while to stay the night, could be cheaper than a bus

Yes, we are considering a stay over, and possibly going to the aquarium the next day, then home. I was kinda hoping there was a bus, on well.
