One Year Out: Taking It To The Streets

ADVERTISEMENT

Published: February 3, 2008

Super Bowl's local liaison, Krista Soroka, said she's not sure where events will be.

She's canvassing restaurants, social venues such as Ybor City's Cuban Club and hotels to see what's available. The NFL is looking at parking lots where outdoor parties could be.

Chuck Jamieson, manager of Green Iguana Bar & Grill in Ybor City, said when the Super Bowl combined with Gasparilla in 2001, it was "awesome for business. It was the best run we ever had."

Next year, the Super Bowl will fall between the biggest Gasparilla events: The Children's Parade will be the week before the game; the invasion the week after.
