Florida’s ghost walking tours are a treat
Ghost walking tours are found throughout Florida. They typically combine historical knowledge, brilliant storytelling, sometimes paranormal investigation, and always colorful local lore. Tampa, Venice, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers and Key West, are some of the destinations offering a ghoulish good time.
SPIRITS OF TAMPA’S YBOR CITY
Ybor City was founded in the 1880s as a melting pot of Cuban and European cigar makers seeking a new and better life. It also was home to buccaneers, conspirators, and villains whose legends, and perhaps spirits, still linger in Cigar City.
Follow in the steps of rumrunners and gangsters during the “Tampa Ghost Tour Pub Crawl” with Nightly Spirits Tampa. Listen to tales while exploring some of Ybor City’s haunted buildings and bars. The 2.5-hour spirit-filled tour begins at Tampa Bay Brewing Company and visits three to four other bars over the course of about a mile. As the night progresses, spirits become more lively. Tour participants must be at least 21 years old.

Ask Sam Farmer: Are the days of the open-air NFL stadium numbered?
An artist’s rendering of the new $5-billion SoFi Stadium in Inglewood that will be home to the Rams and Chargers starting next season. (HKS Architects)
Do you think the days of the open-air NFL stadium are numbered? Seems like the closed or retractable roofs are all the rage now. The new L.A. venue and the Raiders’ Las Vegas digs will have some sort of covering. I can see new stadium situations developing in Washington, D.C., and Buffalo in the next decade being domed. To me, I always thought it was great to see that late afternoon hazy sun gleaming off the Rams, Chargers and Raiders helmets in the Coliseum on TV when it’s freezing outside here on the East Coast. I will miss that.
Farmer: First a bit about Stan Kroenke’s $5-billion stadium in Inglewood, home to the Rams and Chargers starting next season. The venue will feature a roof that’s 275 feet above the playing field and encompasses the stadium and a surrounding plaza, providing weather protection but remaining open on the sides. The roof has metal borders, but the area over the playing field is made of a transparent material called ETFE, which is as clear as a car windshield and strong enough to support the weight of a vehicle. The design allows for breezes to flow through the building, enhancing the outdoor feel.
Now, to address your question, I turned to Mark Williams, director of sports and entertainment business development for HKS, which designed the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, as well as AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys, and Lucas Oil Stadium for the Indianapolis Colts.
In the future, will every team call a dome home?
“It’s an interesting situation because on one hand, people love to experience football outdoors,” Williams said. “But when you say that, the other thing that these venues are becoming more and more is a place to hold more than 10 football games a year. They need to work at different scales, different configurations, different capacities and different event types. They should be used for 365 days a year, so you need some level of assurance for climate.
“So what we did for Mr. Kroenke is a great example. That’s the first 3-million-square-foot, indoor-outdoor venue in the NFL. The beautiful roof helps provide assurance for certain events, but then the breezes, the natural air is still coming through the sides. So I think it’s evolving into a more sophisticated environment, whether that’s movable pieces or openness of outside and inside, that’s the direction it’s all moving.”

Lineup?
Ok enough of the doom and gloom, it's a new season. Win or go home!
Assuming Oduro and Leo are still hurt, and Malik suspended what is everyone's preferred lineups?
I'm going with:
McCarthy Tarek, Diakite, Caleb Doherty, Ekra Tinari, Poku, Barry Seba, Lucky
This gives me Tejada or Siaj to sub at striker Steinberger if we need offense or Taku for defense for mids Kone if it's late and we have a lead for an Xtra defender
