Visit Tampa Bay and Norwich City extend agreement

The deal extends the Club’s association with Florida’s Most diverse destination into a fifth season and will see the renewal of the Tampa Time Half-Time Challenge, a bigger-than-ever Tampa Bay Takeover vs. Chelsea in March, as well as the striking Visit Tampa Bay branding around the Carrow Road pitch.

In a temporary move away from zorbs, whilst Premier League pitch restrictions remain in place, the Tampa Bay Half-Time Challenge will take place in the corner of the Joma Community Stand, pitting two fans together on their quick-fire Norwich City knowledge.

Each weekly winner will be added to a prize draw for the chance to win an amazing holiday package to Tampa Bay for two, consisting of flights, accommodation, brewery tours and tourist attraction passes.

Situated on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Tampa Bay is the perfect destination for travelers of all ages offering open-air fun, delicious outside dining, lush state parks, rich history and culture plus a sparkling waterfront and a range of attractions including Busch Gardens, The Florida Aquarium and ZooTampa at Lowry Park. With new hotels including a newly opened J. W. Marriott and The Tampa Edition opening in early 2022, Tampa Bay is ready and waiting to give UK visitors the holiday they deserve.
