re: Was Florida obsessed with Petty before he passed away?

Fair enough. I've been to games in the Swamp quite in the time frame from 10-15 years ago and honestly, I don't recall them playing any Tom Petty songs. It's no big deal, doesn't mean he wasn't great but I think the OP is just positing that ESPN went out of their way to create a story that's really not a story.
