Busch Gardens could be a unique partner for the Lightning, not only for the logo being placed on their jerseys but also other merchandising avenues. Busch Gardens is still a familiar name for those who do not travel to Tampa frequently or have never been. We know how active general manager Julien BriseBois is with the community in the greater Tampa Bay area, and Busch Gardens is heavily involved. For powerful local brands collaborating, this could be a match made in Heaven. Imagine a Howl-O-Scream night at AMALIE Arena with some cross-promotion- the possibilities are endless.

Not to mention, they have their own Stanley, the newest member of the giraffe family, who was born July 7, 2021. That date may sound familiar because it was the same night the Lightning closed out game 5 against the Montreal Canadiens.
