	bucs and bolts shud count...tampa bay isn't the city they play in. They play in tampa...tampa bay is a body of water

Comment below threshold: show it

	The Bills play in Orchard Park, NY. As for the Bucs and the Lightning... "Tampa" is in the name, so I think that was the idea.

	Rosco:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 12:25 GMT		4 points
	Tampa is a gray area, by UNCCTF's logic. Same with the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem. I put them both as bonus answers. @aeihdahm, I only am including "Big 4" sports, and @inceman1731, UNCCTF got it again, the bills play in Orchard Park, NY, not Buffalo.

	LA Angels of Anaheim needs a little correcting. Unless it's supposed to be a joke and I'm too dumb to realize?

	NCBerge:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 13:13 GMT		6 points
	How is Tampa Bay any different than Miami Gardens? It should be a full fledged answer.

	robbie_keane:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 13:28 GMT		1 point
	misspelled anahiem on the bonus answers

	Rosco:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 14:03 GMT		5 points
	@NCBerge The Tampa Bay Buccaneers playing in Tampa would be equivilant to the Miami Garden Dolphins playing in Miami, not the Dolphins as they are now. Theoretically, although everyone knows it's not the case, one could read them as the Tampa "Bay Buccaneers." You cannot do this for the Dolphins. Same with the Angels - their "official" geographic location is Anahiem, but Anahiem is part of their name. It's better, in my eyes, to put "gray area" answers as bonus answers. Techincally, since the "Tampa Bay Buccaneers" have the city they play in, "Tampa," in their name, and the "Miami Dolphins" do not, I made Tampa a bonus and Miami a regular.

	chronosaurus:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 14:50 GMT		5 points
	Wait... aren't both Marlins and Dolphins supposed to be playing in the same stadium? Why is it then that one is listed as playing in Miami and the other in Miami Gardens?

	nymnyr321:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 15:33 GMT		4 points
	The Ottawa Senators are missing...they play in Kanata, Ontario.

	Rosco:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 15:43 GMT		2 points
	@chronosaurus fixed... thanks! @nymnyr321 Kanata is a district in the city limits of Ottawa, as best as I can tell.

	schouw:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 16:36 GMT		2 points
	@robbie_keane, YOU misspelled Anaheim lol. @Rosco, it should be "Angels". Fun quiz though!

	walter_eagle:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 17:28 GMT		5 points
	I live in Kanata. It's part of Ottawa.

	angels are an NFL team?

	bkidokan:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 18:17 GMT		4 points
	I don't think teams with their stadiums near or in the suburb of the named city (Bills, etc.) should've been included. Would be a cleaner game if it was just teams without a city reference in their names (Texas Rangers, etc.)

	Makaio:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 18:17 GMT		1 point
	@hsox05 Yea, you didn't hear? They're going for the super bowl in two weeks.

	sommersd:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 19:01 GMT		0 points
	@walter_eagle i live in ottawa, no its not...haha...but you should add the chargers, they play in mission valley and miami gardens is seperate but tampa isnt? its tough

	Rosco:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 19:07 GMT		0 points
	@sommersd according to Wikipedia, Kanata become part of Ottawa sometime after 2001.... Mission Valley is also a colloquial name for a neighborhood in the city limits of San Diego. The reason I included the Dolphins is because no where in the phrase "Miami Dolphins" does the phrase "Miami Gardens" appear. Contrarily, the phrase "Tampa" does appear in the phrase "Tampa Bay Buccaneers".

	@bkidokan I considered doing that quiz as well, but there are only a few teams. I figured this would be more fun.

	This may post twice. Sorry. The Tampa answers should be valid. If the Patriots use New England as a means for increasing their market, then it should be said that Tampa Bay is a name used to group the cities of Tampa, St Pete, and Clearwater into one market.

	WhiteSox:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 21:46 GMT		2 points
	The Bucs play in Tampa, not St Pete or Clearwater. Their stadium address is: One Buccaneer Place, Tampa, Florida 33607.

	Good quiz, don;t worry about the nit pickers.

	good point about miami gardens and tampa bay both featuring the team name-really great quiz though!

	i got 3 of the bonuses but why are they bonuses????

	fatbeard:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 05:27 GMT		5 points
	@rosco, for what it's worth, i understand the logic you used to exclude the tampa teams, and why you DID include the dolphins. Really great quiz. cool idea, and well executed

	Bartleby:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 00:20 GMT		1 point
	i agree with bkidokan. miami gardens has only existed since 2003. therefore, when dolphin stadium (landshark or whatever you want to call it) opened, it was in miami. in my opinion, the distinction between miami and the newly created miami gardens is hypersensative. it detracts from an otherwise interesting concept.

	misspelled "Senators" in the bonus

	biggers:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 07:30 GMT		-2 points
	To make the quiz a little more international you could have included some european football (soccer) teams e.g. Everton, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Ajax, Lazio, Juventus

	march:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 22:40 GMT		1 point
	@biggers: good point, although Aston Villa are from Aston so that wouldn't count.

	Trivia: The Tampa Bay Lightning, while they do play in Tampa, have their arenas naming rights sold to the St Petersburg Times

	This should include nicknames, like dbacks, etc. for game consistency and time parameters. Other than that, nice job.

	@biggers: he already said he's only doing the "big 4" American sports

	PILOTNATE:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 13:09 GMT		2 points
	Florida Marlins are now the Miami Marlins and they have a new stadium where the old Orange Bowl use to be which is in Miami, FL.
