In the first place, Tampa doesn't have a team. On a map, sure, St. Petersburg and Tampa are the same place, but in the real world, it takes an hour to get to Tropicana Field from most of Tampa. Putting a team in St. Petersburg was akin to putting a team in, say, Vancouver.

I'm not sure a team would succeed in Tampa, but it would do better than a team in St. Pete. But no team would draw well when it loses 90 games every year. That's a very old principle.
