    TAMPA — Fernando Noriega Jr. understood how special Ybor City could be, how vibrant a community its mix of Cuban, Italian and Spanish immigrants could create.

He played football on the brick-paved streets with kids from the neighborhood, most of them first-generation Americans. He met Margaret at a tea dance at Centro Espanol one Sunday afternoon, and at their wedding reception in Ybor Heights six months ..

    Pro sports teams plan interactive experiences for Tampa fans
    TAMPA — Imagine a smart phone app that senses when you’re close to the ballpark or football stadium turnstile and brings up your admission ticket on the screen. The screen changes once you enter, detailing what concessions are close by and which has the shortest line.

Technology is quickly changing the game day e..

    TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – For Pam Clark, her German Shepherd Ammo, is a lifeline. Ammo’s a highly trained medical service dog, and Pam, who has severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, can barely function without him. “It’s a medical device, as opposed to a pet,” Pam said. “There’s chemical changes that will happen in your body, depending on the different medical events, that he’ll smell and be able to alert me to, long before I even know about them.” She and her fiance, James, moved into an apartme..

    Are Maple Leafs gearing up to make run at Stamkos?
    There's no guarantee that captain Steven Stamkos leaves the Lightning as a free agent this summer. And if he does, it's still unclear whether Stamkos would even want to play for his hometown Maple Leafs, a rebuilding team in a rabid hockey market. But it's widely believed the Maple Leafs plan to make a run at Stamkos, if he's available.
