Ahoy me hardies!

by bucsfan76 , May 26 '05
Pros: Buccaneer Cove, the pirate ship, great atmosphere
Cons: $8 for a beer? Are you kidding me?????? 1:00 kickoffs in September are brutally hot
If you ever saw the Bucs play at old Tampa Stadium (The Big Sombrero as Chris Berman called it), the difference between it and Raymond James Stadium is like night and day. No more hot metal benches, inadequate restrooms and concession stands and having ...

by A_Train , Oct 16 '00
Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: Low seating abilities
Whether from the field, or in the seats, the Raymond James Stadium is one of the most impressive in the league. Despite it's rather low crowd capacity (only around 67,000) The stadium has state of the arts electronica and it's very comfortable as I've...

by CDFrye120 , Jan 25 '01
Pros: Really cool pirate ship and neat looking snack areas
Cons: Really long schlep from your car....
As a resident of the Tampa Bay area I can't help but be proud of Raymond James Stadium.

The only "con" involved here is the walk from your car - in our case up and over the walkway that comes from the Yankee Stadium across the street. But I...

Pros: Pirate Ship and the Snack Bar Area are really cool

Ok, it's a joke, I know that they will never allow smoking in the stadiums, even though they put the taxes on my cigarettes through the roof and used that money to pay for the Stadium, but that's ok!

"Outstanding Venue" from distracted fan

by RTFLDGR , Nov 02 '00
Pros: Wide concourse, comfortable seating, fan friendly staffing, parking, Pirate Ship
Cons: drunk fans/fans who block views
As a Tampa Bay resident, I have been in awe over Raymond James Stadium since it was completed in 1998. I was only able to attend my first game several months ago and the venue itself blew me away. The fans - the loyal ones that have had to watch 14...

I went to the Bucs-Vikings game and sat in the 20th row of the end zone. There is only a lower level in the end zone. This section is very close to the field, so you get a good view when the action is in your end. The ticket price of $49 was fair...

Pros: A nice, 1990's cookie-cutter NFL Stadium, (like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Nashville, Houston)
Cons: a symbol of NFL opression
If the Bucs truly got "robbed", as brwnmack said they were, it was simply a case of the NFL officials giving them a taste of their own medecine.

Ever since the Bucs got their new uniforms in '97, they've been smokin'. And with the opening of RJ Stadium 2 years ago, it's put the crowd in more of a SuperFan mode. The pirate ship in the north endzone adds a lot of flare with the shooting of free...
