Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Be a part of "The Human Lightning Bolt"

TAMPA, FL - MAY 21:  Pregame ceremonies take place prior to Game Four of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Boston Bruins during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at St Pete Times Forum on May 21, 2011 in Tampa, Florida.

Looking for a way to show your support and send the Tampa Bay Lightning, fresh from a series tying 5-3 win over the Bruins on Saturday afternoon at the St. Pete Times Forum, off to Boston for game 5 in style? Then be at Tampa International Airport tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 10:30 AM. There, fans will group together to form the shape of a huge lightning bolt that will be visible to the team as their flight takes off.

Star-divide

In addition to the feel-good, team spirit aspects of this endeavor, there are prizes and giveaways at stake as well. The first 400 fans will receive gift bags, four of which will contain tickets for game 6 here in Tampa on Wednesday. Other bags will have autographed memorabilia and one will have a voucher for a $100 shopping spree at the Lightning Locker team store at the St. Pete Times Forum.

If you're planning to attend, you should look for the Cell Phone Wait Lot at Tampa International Airport. The lot where fans will gather is directly across the street from that, next to the economy parking garage. Lightning staff and airport attendants will be on hand to provide direction. Parking is free.
