It has now been eight years since the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, exorcised the “devil” from their name, kowtowing to the delicate sensibilities of some of the residents in St. Pete that don’t even attend games. Yet that doesn’t mean the Rays are just going to throw away perfectly good folding chairs just because they have the old Devil Rays logo, and maybe a lot of dust.
The annual St. Petersburg Bowl is the day after Christmas and the equipment staff for one of the teams, the Marshall Thundering Herd, are already at The Trop prepping for the big game.
