Dust off your Murrican flags, everyone.
You've anticipated it for more days than it takes to legally buy a gun in some states, but now Donald Trump's Tampa appearance is just hours away!
The University of South Florida has released the specifics on Trump's Friday night Tampa rally at the USF Sun Dome, and they're expecting a massive crowd at what's likely to be a romp.
The Don is expected to speak at 7 p.m. Friday night.
Rudely, USF asks that you not bring your gun to the rally.
Also barred are fireworks, hazardous materials of any kind, knives, toy guns, scissors, razors, toy guns or weapons, needles, any type of sign, produce, outside food or drink, recording devices and laser pointers, among many other objects.
Worst of all? No. Fucking. Air horns.

Doors to this event open at 5, and the Donald is expected to speak at 7. While anyone can get a ticket, not everyone will get in if the event is at capacity. After all, the Tampa Bay region is home to several million people, around a quarter of which we reckon are Trump fans. You do the math. Or don't. Math is for pussies.
Parking at the Sun Dome will cost $20 per vehicle, but patriots with abnormally large trucks will have to pay for two spaces; three.
Here's a map of the parking lot.
Even if you don't go inside the arena for whatever reason, activity in the surrounding area will still be interesting. Expect pro-Trump supporters to "speak their minds" and anti-Trump protesters to call Trump out for "speaking his mind" about women and minorities.
In short, barring total chaos, or total chaos notwithstanding, either way, it should be a tremendous night.
