“We have had a tremendous first quarter,” said Ron Campbell, President of the St. Pete Times Forum and the 2004 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. “It is quite an accomplishment to out-perform larger cities and so many great venues this quarter. I am also proud that we have just received the highest ranking for most tickets sold in the state of Florida for all of 2005 – this speaks very highly of the growth of the Tampa Bay market. We will continue the trend of bringing the biggest and best talent to the Tampa Bay area,” he continued.
