football field to have new lines?
Didn’t we see this in every sitcom over the past 3 decades? A couple of kids room together, but can’t get along, so they paint a line across, splitting the bedroom in two. Neither kid can cross the line to their brother’s side.
The Tampa Sports Authority has come up with a plan to paint a line across Raymond James Stadium, so Hillsborough Fire Rescue and Tampa Fire Rescue can both work during Bucs games.
Under a plan being worked out… both agencies would attend to fans and football players at games at Raymond James Stadium.
One agency would take the east and north end of the football complex; the other would take the south and west.
I can see it now:
City Guy: “Hey County! I just saw a fan fall down over there in your stands.”
County Guy: “Listen here, City. Why don’t you keep your eyes on your OWN sideline. I’ll know if someone over here needs help.”
City Guy: “We’ve been doing this a lot longer than you. I’m surprised you even found the stadium.”
County Guy: “You City Guys are jerks! You don’t know everything. In fact, some drunk guy just jumped the wall and is running across the field in your end zone - you better go catch him.”
City Guy: “You’re such a tool. That field runner just came from YOUR sideline - that makes him your responsibility. And YOU probably don’t even know HOW to use a taser.”
County Guy: “Why you, I oughtta.”
Of course, by the end of the half-hour episode, those wacky kids learn their lesson that we all need to get along in order to get ahead.

It’s just fire/rescue guys, not cops and sherriffs (who actually work pretty well together) but it’s scary how accurately you nailed the level of maturity in this mock dialogue. These are two groups who have demonstrated over time that they are absolutely incapable of cooperating with each other. If they’re using tasers, it’ll be on each other. Maybe they should settle things on the kickball field.
