Looks like the theoretical plan is "early season in FL / rest of the season in Mon" rather than any sort of alternating deal.

The notion being that such an arrangement would allow a non-domed new stadium to be built in Tampa & cutting the costs there.

Honestly, I think the end game will be playing out the lease and exiting FL after 2027. This just started the bidding war early.
