I'm assuming this will be the de facto Super Bowl thread. Given the championship will be held in Tampa this year I thought I should share some info on the local attractions for any braving the COVID to go down there.
There is, of course, the Busch Gardens theme park full of roller coasters, some animals, and most of what you'd expect of such a place. However, they have historically run a beer tasting facility as well. From my faded memory you can get a mini cup of beer to try a few flavors though I don't recall a limit on how many mini beers you can get (several requests may be required). This can change the overall effect of integrating with the animals, and more importantly riding the roller coasters, most notably for the observers below as you make the loops and turns.
There had been a Frederick's of Hollywood down there, I believe. Though that may have succumbed to the failing economy.
The beach is always great, and for Northerners it probably isn't too cold even at this time of year. Northerners are weird like that. St. Pete is very nearby also with beaches, but that is primarily a retirement village grown to the size of a sprawling metropolis. I suggest you avoid that both for traffic issues of endless blinkers and for the natural residents hitting the beach in their bikinis and speedos.
Perhaps one of the best known tourist attractions would be the strip clubs, of which there are many but perhaps none as old and well known (I did not say 'respected') of Mons Venus. Rather than entertain you with my memories, I'll simply lean on a recent news article so you know that they ARE open and that they are considerate of your Covid concerns:
Tampa's famous strip clubs brace for pandemic Super Bowl
“I’m thinking we’ll get an increase in business but it’s not going to be like anything it was,” said Joe Redner, the owner of Mons Venus, an all-nude strip club within walking distance of Raymond James Stadium. “This COVID makes it a whole different world.”

"Workers in Tampa's renowned strip club industry, despite the pandemic's damper on business, they' are worried but hopeful."
"Elizabeth Reed dances at Scores Gentleman's Club, a strip club near the stadium hosting the Super Bowl, and says wearing masks while working is like 'doing cardio' with her nose and mouth covered.
It’s uncomfortable and sweaty, and her makeup is often ruined. She’s also wary of dancing close to patrons wearing thinner face coverings.
“It’s not the same,” she said, adding that she doesn't want to complain because front-line health care workers have to wear masks for hours on end. “It’s been an adjustment. Now I face away from the customer a majority of the time.”
Still, she’s hopeful she’ll make $1000 a night during Super Bowl week, and she’ll wear sequined masks that match her outfits.
