Love that three of our Tampa landmarks land in the top 20 in the state of Florida. I wish there were more as there are many more that could be on the list. Just a few I can think of include Raymond James Stadium, Amalie Arena the University of Tampa. Ybor City would be a place that I thought would be on the list. I know it’s not necessarily in Tampa but in the Tampa Bay area how about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
