Follow the Lightning through the season with beat writer Damian Cristodero and the Times sports staff. We invite your participation in the comments area.
Someday Versus will go away and we can get back to multiple games on ESPN and ESNP2 in my dream world.

Chic,
I caught wind of this a while ago and from what I understand, the owners are pretty hellbent on making it happen. I'm not sure what the reasoning is for it, but one would assume turnout and better parking, for one.
I'd expect it, honestly. The new crew apparently wants it there pretty bad.

Thanks for suggestion and I did as you suggested. Will let all know what the outcome is when I receive it.
Go Bolts!!

Previously posted. Please advise DC,
DC,
Well it looks like you may be back from vacation but Erik Erlindson from the Tampa Bay Trib is reporting that training camp may be at the SPTF and not in Brandon.
Any news on this happening? I understand that the team will be busy getting ready for the pre-season, however, if this is the case somebody should be telling the fans as some plan vacations and all around it.
Just a thought and if this is the case OK that is not a very fan friendly way to start the season....
Please elaborate.
Go Bolts!!
