Zeitgeist: Complete List of Fan Clothing Restrictions at Amalie Arena

During the playoffs, the Tampa Bay Lightning have been criticized for policies that prohibit the wearing of opposing team jerseys in certain areas at Amalie Arena. Visiting Red Wings fans didn't like the rules, visiting Canadiens fans didn't like the rules and New York Rangers fans didn't understand the rules because they weren't written in pictures.

With the Lightning set to face the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup final, tourists are rightfully concerned about wearing the proper attire and not getting kicked out of a game even after purchasing a ticket fair and square.

Through our sources, Lighthouse Hockey has acquired the definitive list of what can and can't be worn where inside the Lightning's home rink. It turns out that restricting what colors can be worn in specified sections is only the tip of the iceberg.

If you're thinking about visiting Tampa Bay during the Cup final, make sure you consult this list before leaving your hotel room. What you're wearing could get you stopped at the door or booted from your seats.
