So thanks to cheap seats, cheap eats and a somewhat promising outlook, Tampa Bay faithful jumped their squad up 18 spots this year, just outside the NFLs top half.Whats goodThe Bucs best ranking comes in affordability, up 17 spots since last year, and indeed, they have the distinction of offering the second-cheapest tickets in the NFL, just $64 on average for 2015. Even after a 24 percent increase this year, Tampa Bay has among the NFLs lowest prices thanks to an eight-year period without a hike. Even on the secondary market, the median single-game ticket is $162, more expensive only than admission to a Jags game. The Bucs $25 parking is $6 below the NFLs average, and soda and hot dog prices sit below the average, as well. Considering that the Bucs havent finished above .500 since 2010 and havent won a division title since 2007, the team is wise to keep these costs down as it rebuilds its fan base.Whats badAn 89th-place ranking in fan relations speaks to the Bucs initial resistance to special-interest events (their event last year, Women of RED, caught a ton of flak nationally for what critics deemed was an embarrassingly sexist initiative to teach women about football). Since then, though, the group hosted a Moms Football Safety Clinic, sponsored a BizWomen Summit, and its second-annual Invasion event was actually centered around football with topics like Inside the War Room and Rookie Rundown. It appears the Bucs have learned their lesson! The team also hosted an event for young professionals and created the Bucs Squad Youth Program, a free kids club with a large, interactive play park during training camp, a special Kids Day practice, kids-only autograph lines, a birthday shoutout from players and a special Bucs Squad tailgate. This ranking could jump in 2017.Whats newTampa Bays stadium experience ranking -- already up 13 spots from 2015 -- should again improve considerably once fans experience Phase 1 of the two-part, $140 million renovation project at Raymond James Stadium. The giant new HD video boards are 28,000+ square feet, the third-largest video space in the NFL, and the surround sound is crystal clear. The new Hall of Fame Club luxury suites are fully air-conditioned with plush leather seats, full liquor bars and large buffet stations. But dont worry -- that majestic pirate ship in the north end zone is still there. Its just that even the ship is dwarfed by a giant screen now.Next: New York Giants?| Full rankings Nike Air Max Cheap Wholesale .

But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Aggression has been the hallmark of MVP Phoenix. Their style is nicknamed caveman Dota, and the five players of Phoenix earned their title through a simple tactic: They run at you, and keep on running at you, until they win. They did exactly that in the opening match of The International 2016 to one of the top squads at the tournament.In a winners bracket match, MVP Phoenix faced the titanic OG squad that had claimed victory at two majors (and sent MVP into the lower bracket at Manila). This time, however, MVP Phoenix had the upper hand.Theyre not used to the style that we play, said support Kim Febby Yong-min. Just hyperaggression. They expect the heroes, but they dont expect how were going to play it.For years, MVP Phoenix has been seen as steadily rising, an underdog coming from a region not known for Dota 2. The South Korean Dota squad has fought hard to earn its place among the pantheon of top teams and, in the course of three games, exhibited exactly why it deserved that place with a 2-1 win over OG.[It] feels good to take our revenge for losing, said Pyo MP No-a. We got humiliated in Manila, so its a great boost of confidence for us. We know that we can beat them. Were quite happy.The star of the series was easily Kim QO Seob-yeons Phantom Assassin, a hero few teams are willing to even consider drafting. A high-damage carry, PA relies on chance to deal damage; each hit is a roll of the dice to determine whether you will score big with a massive coup de grace or fail. QO scored big on the pick, though, and Febby theorizes that it will likely be a third or fourth ban against the team from here on out.Thats MVP Phoenixs comfort zone, forcing others to conform to its game. For most of the year, MVP had to accommodate adverse circumstances; playing out of South Korea forces the team to compete on other servers because the country does not have its own server. This left the team dealing not just with high-level players but also with high levels of ping, resulting in serious lag during online tournaments. LANs alleviate that concern, allowing MVP to breathe and better execute, an X factor that serves it well at every on-site competition.We just practicee a lot under harsh conditions, so when we go to LAN events, theres no delay, no anything, Febby told us.dddddddddddd It feels like weve been practicing with weights on, and, when were at LAN events, the weights are off, so its a lot better.For MVP Phoenix at The International, the potential problems wont be ping or server woes, but team issues. Preparation, arguments and ego are what could plague MVP and stop its roll to the top.We need to be focused on the task and need to not get tilted or fight amongst each other, Febby said. In the group stage, we kind of had an internal conflict, and we knew we could win all the games, but we screwed up because we fought amongst ourselves.Core player MP looked elsewhere, toward concerns of confidence. We lost at the Shanghai Major and Manila Major for the same reason. We placed quite highly, we beat some good teams, but we didnt prepare for the next match because we were way too confident, he told us. The confidence actually worked against us, in the sense that we didnt prepare for the enemy. We didnt know what they were going throw at us; we just threw to them what we were doing the whole tournament.This team is determined to overcome its demons, though, much like it overcame OG. The aggression cloaks a clever, coordinated attack, the confidence and internal struggles demonstrate a passion for the title, and so this MVP Phoenix squad is at the peak of its game. It is only two wins from a winners bracket berth in the grand finals of TI6, a first for South Korea.As for fans cheering the team on, from South Korea and around the world, all the players thanked them, and Febby said the team planned to repay fans with good games, full of hyperaggression, like how you guys like it. For the team, there will be no complacency and no lack of preparation. MVP Phoenix might employ caveman Dota, but this team has more than an MO. It has a plan for the top.For this TI, were not going to make the same mistake, MP said. Were going to prepare well for every team. I think thats how were going to win TI.
