Raymond James Stadium 🇺🇸

Home of: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFC South)

Welcome to Raymond James Stadium, a premier multi-purpose sports and entertainment venue located in Tampa, Florida. Opened in 1998 to replace Tampa Stadium, this impressive facility serves as the home field for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the University of South Florida Bulls college football program. Standard seating accommodates 69,218 spectators, expanding to around 75,000 for massive special events.

Named through a long-standing partnership with St. Petersburg-based Raymond James Financial, the venue has hosted legendary football moments, including three Super Bowls—most notably Super Bowl LV, where the Buccaneers became the first team in NFL history to play and win a Super Bowl on their home turf. Beyond professional and collegiate football, the stadium hosts the annual ReliaQuest Bowl, Gasparilla Bowl, major concert tours, soccer matches, monster truck shows, and equestrian competitions.

As you explore the fully ADA-compliant stadium, you will encounter its iconic centerpiece in the north end zone: a 103-foot replica pirate ship complete with firing cannons, a remote-controlled animated parrot, and Buccaneer Cove's weathered fishing village facade. Featuring high-definition video displays covering over 28,000 square feet, Raymond James Stadium offers an unforgettable Florida game-day atmosphere.
