A Weekend of Grand Opening Festivities
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will officially kick off the celebration, giving early risers the chance to win amazing rewards. The first 100 adults in line each morning will receive mystery gift cards, and the first 300 guests aged 10 and older will take home a free 30-ounce Stanley Quencher. For the young athletes, kids under 18 can snag a complimentary DSG soccer ball, available to the first 100 each morning.
Beyond the giveaways, the store will feature doorbuster deals, sweepstakes, and special promotions that ensure excitement from open to close. Each day brings new reasons to visit, making this one of the most anticipated Tampa Bay retail events of the season.
Dick’s House of Sport Offers a Wild Shopping Experience
The new Brandon location joins another House of Sport store at Tampa’s International Plaza, each boasting over *100,000 square feet of retail space. These stores go far beyond traditional shopping by offering interactive zones where customers can test equipment, train like athletes, and immerse themselves in the sports they love.
Whether you’re climbing the rock wall, perfecting your swing in the golf bays with TrackMan simulators, or taking a few shots inside the multi-sport cage, the experience feels more like a sports arena than a store. These hands-on activities help athletes track their progress while trying out new gear in real-time.
It’s not just shopping—it’s sporting reimagined.
Meet NFL Legends at the Grand Opening
Fans will have the incredible opportunity to meet two football stars during the opening weekend celebrations. On November 1, Tampa Bay running back Bucky Irving will meet fans from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The following day, on November 2, the one and only Rob Gronkowski, former Tampa Bay tight end and NFL legend, will make his appearance during the same hours.
Entry to these autograph sessions requires wristbands, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis when the store opens each day. Please note that only player cards provided by DICK’S will be signed—so make sure you arrive early!
This is a rare chance to connect with your favorite NFL players, making the House of Sport grand opening an unmissable event for Tampa Bay sports fans.
