Tampa Bay is the REGION!!! They name of the BAY is Tampa Bay and the region around it is called Tampa Bay.
Some have thought of calling the Oakland A's the East Bay A's should they move to somewhere else in the East Bay (Fremont, Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Hayward, Milpitas, or whatever).
Back in 1992 or so, someone wanted to move the Giants to Lathrop, Calif. where they were propising a DisneyWorld-style resort, complete with MLB stadium. The stadium proposal and eventually Gold Rush City were laughed out of town (that latter actually kept going long enough to allow developers to the approval to build 10,000+ homes). Name for the location: Central Valley ... hence Central Valley Giants.
Oh ... neither the New York Jets or the New York Giants play in NYC.
