Who says Tampa Bay isn’t a hockey town?

Even though Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final is taking place in Chicago, Tampa Bay Lightning fans filled up Amalie Arena for a viewing party.

The crowd felt just like a home crowd, where Lightning fans have created one of the best atmospheres in the NHL.

Nearly full house and there's not a single skater on the ice. Incredible crowd for tonight's watch party. #GoBolts pic.twitter.com/7gzln3eCP0

It's a watch party, and the production is just as good as if it were a home game. @AmalieArena @TBLightning #GoBolts pic.twitter.com/G7sSe0fZT5
