No, no, no, no, no!  I meant the "area" part of the name (i.e., the TAMPA
BAY Bucaneers, the SEATTLE Seahawks, etc.), not the identity part (i.e.,
the Tampa Bay BUCANEERS, the Seattle SEAHAWKS, etc.).  I looked at my atlas
yesterday and saw that the Tampa Bay area includes the cities of Tampa,
Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and (stretching it a little) Sarasota, Florida.
The total population of the area (including other smaller towns) is around
1 million people.  I guess that's why they use the name Tampa Bay and not
just Tampa.  I still think it's silly.
