I was fortunate enough to see the Tampa Bay Rowdies open 2020 with a win at New York Red Bulls II in person. I was also unfortunately there to witness them get drubbed 5-0 by the same Red Bulls in April of 2018. Neill Collins was the player that came out of the locker room […]
The Tampa Bay Rowdies will play on in 2020. Tampa Bay extended their season another week by prevailing 2-1 over Louisville City FC in Saturday’s Eastern Confernce Final at Lynn Family Stadium.

The Tampa Bay Rowdies are set for their first appearance in the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference final this Saturday at 7:30 pm.

An 89th-minute goal from Martin Paterson wasn’t enough to erase two earlier goals by Louisville City FC in a scrappy match on Saturday night at Slugger Stadium. Coach Stuart Campbell was forced […]
by JAKE NUTTING After a perfect three-match homestand to begin their first season in the United Soccer League, the Tampa Bay Rowdies are hitting the road for the first time to take on Louisville City FC.
