Are the Tampa Bay Lightning's new owners hot to start building on downtown land they just bought along with the team?

Paul Catoe, the boss of Hillsborough's tourism marketing agency, created a buzz Tuesday when he said team owners told him they wanted to construct a hotel on a portion of the property near the Tampa Convention Center. He later dismissed their interest as chit-chat at a reception.

The team released a statement that owners were "excited and enthused'' about development opportunities for the 5.5 acres but "need to carefully look at the various options'' before deciding anything.
