The Tampa Bay Lightning just got a whole new fan base during the 2020 Stanley Cup Final. They're made of LEGO blocks, but it still counts.
The LEGOLAND Florida Resort family theme park in Winter Haven, Florida, debuted its Miniland Tampa scene as the Lightning are battling the Dallas Stars for the Stanley Cup. The setup shows LEGO-ized Tampa Bay Lightning fans walking around the area between the Sun Trust Financial Center and the historic Tampa Theatre.
The top of the Sun Trust building is Lightning blue with a bolt going across it and the marquee of the Tampa Theatre says "Go Bolts Win" in large letters. The scene used over 1.4 million LEGO bricks and is built to 1:20 scale. LEGOLAND Florida shared a great video of the scene on Twitter.
Each LEGO Lightning fan, and there are over 40 of them in the display, is about four inches tall. They are decked out in various Lightning gear. Some even come complete with to-scale sized hockey sticks. The scene also featured Lightning banners, one of them displaying their "Be the Distant Thunder" campaign, a rallying cry for fans as they cheer on the team playing in the Edmonton bubble.
