Look Back, Look Ahead
It was a busy week for the FC Tampa Bay Rowdies, who were running all over the Bay area gearing up for the home opener. The players spent Monday visiting the Florida Aquarium, Wednesday at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg and Thursday night at MacDinton's with fans. Everything led up to the moment fans and the organization had been waiting for - the inaugural season home opener. A sellout crowd of 8,082 watched as Aaron King and Jeremy Christie each scored en route to a 2-2 draw with the Austin Aztex. The team will travel to Cary, North Carolina for a Friday night match up with the Carolina RailHawks at 7 pm.
