Tampa's Raymond James Stadium

Hog1 · 11-16-2006, 10:26 AM

Anybody have any info? Good place to go see a skins game? I am considering going this weekend and taking my two teenage sons. Good thing, mistake? Fans ok, or more like the Eagles fans? Any idea of parking prices? sections in the stadium for visitors? sections to avoid, like the ship area?
Thanx for the info!

I've never been, but I've talked to numerous people who've been there and they said that Tampa fans are some of the more friendly ones they've ever encountered.

My sister used to live down there and would volunteer to work at the stadium for the military. She's a Redskins fan and used to comment how the fans there were pretty cool.

My buddy went last year for the ripoff game. He said the fans were okay and that the stadium itself was really nice.

I went last year (36-35) and I'll actually be there again this Sunday! The Bucs fans are great (99% of them), I compared it to being in FedEx in terms of the class most of the fans held. I took some crap on the way home after that loss (and i was basically tramuatized having seen it), but overall, its a great place to watch a game, the stadium is really really cool. For parking, I just found some place far away for like 20 bucks and walked ot the stadium and met some people. The Bucs fans will give you "crap" and then invite you over to hang out, kinda like a "NOT A REDKSINS FAN, YOU SHOULD LIKE THE BUCS" type of jab.

But seroiusly, from my experiance and everything I've heard (I even posted on a bucs board this week asking some questions about the printout tix I had) and people were telling me to stop by and say hello and stuff). They are great fans, nothing to worry about.

I have been on numerous occassions. GREAT place to see a game! Only advice I would give is make sure you don't sit near that damn ship. Those cannons are probably gonna go off alot on Sunday and that would suck!

I've been there a couple times, and I'm going this weekend too. Just like everyone said, the stadium is very nice ... except I sat real close once (like row 3) and it was kinda hard to see over the players on the field ... I didn't seem to have that problem at FedEx.

The fans are cool, and the traffic wasn't as bad as FedEx when I have been there. Just like Gmanc said, I parked away on some residential street for 20 bucks, and walked. Most likely the weather will be awesome, and a perfect day for football.

Im excited. I want to see more of their cheerleaders. I don't know if its the outfits or what, but man do they get my blood pumping.

I freaking love the bucs cheerleaders. I'll pay homage to the skinsettes, but its something about the bustier that the bucs chicks wear thats so freakin hot!
