As part of their coverage of Florida's impact on the election, Today show host Lester Holt and a crew from NBC conducted a live broadcast of the network's morning news show from the University of Tampa today. The network has camped out as President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney ready for their third debate in Boca Raton tomorrow night.

Locals turned out on a crisp, clear morning — Tampa Bay's first fully fall weather-like day — to wave signs and check out the action at the landmark famous for its Russian-inspired minarets.
