TAMPA — A lawsuit involving Tampa’s football team has helped give its hockey team the authority to tell some fans what they can wear to a game at Amalie Arena.
The lawsuit, filed by a fan who cried “unconstitutional” over security pat downs at Tampa Bay Buccaneers games, made it to a federal appeals court in 2007 and helped clarify the meaning of a ticket.
“A ticket is a license,” said William Sutton, director of the Sport and Entertainment Management program at the University of South Florida.
And it can be revoked if you don’t abide by the terms.
