It’s been a tough year for Tampa Bay and the world, between the pandemic, a siege on the U.S. Capitol and a summer of protests. But through it all, we still have our love for each other and community … and cheesy Valentine’s Day cards.
So, we are once again asking you to be our Tampa Bae. Download these free, localized love letters to send to your partner, your friends, your parents or whomever else (just not in a creepy way).
Couldn’t we all use a little sappy joy right now?

We had a few Bucs-themed declarations in mind. They just weren’t fit to print in a family publication.
I’m hooked on you. 🎣 Get hooked on our Instagram, too.
Will you be the Pub to my sub? Unlike those fire sales, my love isn’t cheap.

Are you the Gandy Bridge extension? Because I’d wait forever for you.
Like a Cuban sandwich, love is better in Tampa Bay, a point we stand by.

We hope these punny cards brighten your loved ones’ day.
