Dear Lightning Fans,

As we begin the 2011-12 Tampa Bay Lightning season, we have a lot to be excited about. Head coach Guy Boucher and his Lightning team are fresh off a great playoff run last spring, one which saw us fall just one goal short of reaching the Stanley Cup Finals. Our full season ticket base has more than doubled over last season, and our new micro-chipped jersey is revolutionizing fan loyalty programs throughout the sports world. In fact, we look forward to seeing more than 10,000 fans sporting the same home Lightning blue jerseys each night that the players will be wearing on the ice.

And the transformation of the St. Pete Times Forum saw Chairman and Governor Jeff Vinik invest $40 million into the arena this past summer. The results will transform the fan experience and we think

you’ll understand our excitement once you get to enjoy the arena for yourself. We have opened up the concourses to the ice,

added plenty of new fan amenities and replaced every stadium seat in the Times Forum with padded theater-style seats, complete with cup holders. You’ll now feel a sense of “Tampa Bay” everywhere you walk in the building.

In the following pages, we are presenting a helpful reference to help you better utilize the Times Forum and manage your

relationship with the Lightning, our players and other fans. This A to Z Guide aims to explain everything you need to

know about the St. Pete Times Forum, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the National Hockey League, including the new facets of our transformed arena.

We hope you have a great 2011-12 season and we look forward to your being the Thunder behind our Lightning.

Sincerely,

Dave AndreychukVice President of Fans and Business Development

HistorySt. Pete Times Forum HistoryGround broke on the St. Pete Times Forum in 1995 with the building officially opening in 1996. Though the first event at the Times Forum was the Royal Hanneford Circus, the first Lightning game was played on October 20, 1996, a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers. Since dropping the puck for the first time, the Bolts have gone on to raise multiple banners to the rafters, including the 2004 Stanley Cup Championship, 2004 Eastern Conference Championship, as well as 2002-03 and 2003-04 Southeast Division Championships.

The arena, also home to the Arena Football League’s Tampa Bay Storm, has hosted numerous high-profile events including the 1999 NHL All-Star Game, the 2007 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament, the 2008 NCAA Women’s Final Four, the 2009 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament, a rally for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama and more. The Times Forum is scheduled to host the 2012 Republican National Convention in August as well as the 2012 NCAA Men’s Hockey Championship, the Frozen Four (April). It is annually named as one of the busiest venues in North America by Pollstar and other leading venue publications. The building serves as the centerpiece of downtown Tampa’s Channel District which includes numerous hotels, restaurants and nightlife options.

During the summer of 2011, the publicly-owned St. Pete Times Forum underwent a $40 million transformation that was privately funded by Tampa Bay Sports and Entertainment owner and chairman Jeff Vinik. The building boasts 69 executive suites - 20 on the lower level and 49 on the upper level. There is a newly renovated, open-air box office, new seats with cup holders, performance stage with a massive pipe organ as well as a signature outdoor paradise deck overlooking downtown Tampa. The capacity at the St. Pete Times Forum ranges up to 21,000 depending on the event.

Tampa Bay Lightning HistoryFounded by Hockey Hall-of-Famer Phil Esposito, the Lightning was named after Esposito watched a storm roll in over Tampa Bay. On December 6, 1990, the NHL announced that Esposito’s vision would become reality and that the Lightning would begin play for the 1992-93 season. On October 7, 1992, at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall, the Lightning dropped the puck on the franchise with a 7-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks that featured four goals by Chris Kontos, a team record that still stands today.

The team moved from Expo Hall to the Thunderdome in downtown St. Petersburg (now Tropicana Field) on July 20, 1993. On October 9, 1993 the Lightning set a NHL single-game attendance record when 27,227 fans attended the first regular season game at the new dome against the Florida Panthers. Tampa Bay made its NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs debut there in 1996, taking on the Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal. The Lightning eventually lost the hard-fought series in six games. The Bolts moved into the new St. Pete Times Forum (then known as the Ice Palace) in downtown Tampa for its next season.

It would take a few years for Tampa Bay to again get a taste of the post-season, but in 2002-03 the Lightning captured their first Southeast Division title. That year the Lightning went on to defeat the Washington Capitals in six games in the Conference Quarterfinal for what was the franchise’s first series win. Despite a loss to the eventual Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils in the second round, the seeds were sewn for future success. The next season Tampa Bay had the best campaign in team history, posting a 46-22-8-6 record with 106 points and a second consecutive division championship. But it was what happened in the postseason that became the franchise’s crowning achievement. Following a 23-game gauntlet against some of the NHL’s best teams, the Lightning captured the organization’s first Stanley Cup Championship on June 7, 2004 on home ice with a 2-1 win in Game 7 against the Calgary Flames.

Complete with a new owner and vision, a transformed Lightning team played to within one game of the Stanley Cup Final in 2011, Jeff Vinik’s first full season as owner and chairman. That team tied the franchise record for wins in a season with 46 and was second for points with 103. The Lightning now look toward the future with a rejuvenated fan base and heightened expectations.
