    They watched their team play their home games at the Thunderdome which is now known as Tropicana Field.
    Their team has followed the trend of Tampa's other two pro sports franchises by being the league's perennial laughingstock franchise.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They have had the chance to watch their team go from laughingstock to champion in only two seasons.
    They had stars like Hulk Hogan and Cuba Gooding Jr. in attendance during their Stanley Cup run.
    They get to watch some of the league's dynamic young stars in Vincent Lecavalier, Brad Richards and Martin St. Louis skate for their team.
    They have stuck it out through the franchise's infamous history and were really happy to see the team make strides in becoming a playoff contender.
    Despite their reputation as a laughingstock franchise, their team hosted the 1999 NHL All-Star Game.
