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 ...
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...
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...
I recently made my only trip to Tampa for the first major sporting event of the new millineum. The Outback Bowl on new years day featuring Purdue (they should have won) and Georgia. We got to the game an hour or so early and didn't have much trouble...
Pros: Pirate Ship and the Snack Bar Area are really cool Cons: A little cramped for seating
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!
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...
Pros: Great view and accomodations Cons: The seats are too narrow and close; foods are expensive
This is the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! It used to be Trent Dilfer's home, but he got traded to the Baltimore Ravens. And now he is back to the same stadium to take on the New York Giants. He can't forget the memories. How great it is to play...
Alright...If you are a Bucs fan, then you know how much this stadium has done for this team. It got the fans back into the game. This stadium is amazing. It is designed so that even the "nose bleed" section has great seats. The stadium has...
Pros: no bad seats, close proximity to vendors, restrooms Cons: summer heat and sun is killer!!
Raymond James Stadium… known as RayJ to Tampa Bay fans, or the “New Sombrero” to Chris Berman at ESPN. Whatever you want to call it, this facility is the gem of the city of Tampa, a true masterpiece of arcitecture. During the demolition of old Tampa...
Pros: great view of field, lots of extras Cons: price
Enter the club section of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL and prepare to be pampered. As you step into the spacious lobby, you are greeted by friendly faces giving you some type of Bucs' item with a sponsor's name clearly labeled on it; they range...
Pros: Great views, clean Cons: You could get lost easily
Although I have yet to attend an actual game (ticket prices have skyrocketed for our talented team)I have attended practice sessions and other events at RJS (AND WATCHED SPELLBOUND EVERY BUCS GAME) and it is one of the most beautiful places on earth to...
Pros: exactly what the stadium is like Cons: I make fun of trent dilfer, uh oh
Let me start by saying that the Bucs are going all the way to the big show this year! It would be very nice if it happened next year too because the super bowl is going to be at Raymond James Stadium.
Pros: beautiful stadium, all seats are good, easy parking if arrive early, good football team Cons: expensive seating, food is good-but not great
Raymond James Stadium...Amazing. The new football stadium in Tampa is great. It is modern, classy, stylish, open, everything a stadium could ever want. Whoever designed it deserves great praise because it fulfilled the dreams of all Tampa Bay...
Pros: new complex, great fans, lots of luxuries Cons: lacks space, pricey tickets
I was fortunate to get a chance to go to see the Bucs play against the Redskins and get a look at the amazing looking Raymond James Stadium. It was a truly wonderful experience, the bucs fans have to be the loudest in the NFL. There is a great variety of...
What do I think of the new Raymond James Stadium? As of going there last night it was great!!!
Its a very brightly colored and with the red seats and very supportive of the Tampa Bay Bucs(who are gonna win the Superbowl in 2000!!!!!!!). The idea of...
I think the referees for the NFC Championship Game between the Bucs and Rams were completely blind and retarded. How can they make a call like they did in the last 40 seconds of the game that would lead the winning team to the SuperBowl!! I thought it...
Pros: Pirate Ship! And Buccaneer Cove... Cons: Walking for miles...
Raymond James Stadium...
That big mass of concrete and steel that we Hillsborougins had to pay extra taxes for. What I can't figure out is why the dang thing was built in the first place! Houlihan's Stadium was perfectly alright with me, it...
Pros: good view from anywhere, clean Cons: bland food, small seats
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.
Raymond James Stadium is home also to the Tampa Bay Mutiny of Major League Soccer. Say what...
Pros: Great seats, cup holders at every seat, good food,gigantic "jumbo-tron" screens at both ends Cons: outdoor stadium in the summer is a little hot, go to a game in the fall or winter.
I am a season ticket holder for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 4 years. Raymond James Stadium is the most beautiful stadium I have seen, live or on tv. I have been to Pro Player Stadium in Miami and to the Silverdome in Detroit, and Raymond James is far...
Many people complain about sports arena prices being way to high on refreshments. I would have to agree with that. But there's nothing we can do about it - all stadiums are going to charge more than usual to simply make extra money. But at Raymond James...
My friend has club seats on the 50 yard line at Raymond James. I had never been until this year, when the Bucs played the Jets. We pulled up to the surrounding area of the stadium and found a cheap place to park with ease. I walked into the stadium...
Pros: Its nice, and the Bucs play here Cons: $$$$$$$$
This stadium is amazing. It has it all. All of the seats are great. Especially in the club section. The club section is the best. This stadium is such a step above every other stadium out there. It is top of the line. And the awesome Tampa Bay...
Pros: Just a Great Stadium Cons: Man! Long line to the bathroom!
I am a season ticket holder for the Tampa Bay Bucs and I am very pleased with the new stadium. It is a great atmosphere for football game! It is no regular stadium, it has got a pirate ship (so cool) at one endzone and it has many other decorations that...
Pros: Architectural Masterpiece Cons: Food is expensive
This truly is the best stadium in the NFL. The tickets are cheap and easily obtained. The parking is very easy to access and also very cheap. I have sat in every position in the stadium and every seat offers its own unique viewing angles and...
Pros: Not a bad seat in the house Cons: Fans can be fickle at times
Raymond James Stadium: Home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The trademark of the stadium is it's unbelievable pirate ship. The ship is large enough to hold a great number of people, and shoots T-shirts and blanks out of it's noisy cannons when the home...
Pros: Aura , View lines, noise level, pirate ship Cons: only if you are a visiting fan.
Ok when I last came down to Tampa , it was my third football game in the city and 2nd at Raymond James. This was the NFC Playoffs, and my beloved redskins were finally back in the swing of things. The way this stadium holds the noise, and creates (a...
Pros: Bucs fans are probably the most supportive now due to the stadium. Cons: Nothing!
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...
Pros: great experience Cons: aw the drunks are a pain
it simply is an amazing stadium. it has got it all the restaurants, the stores, the ships, and most of all the greatest team playing in it. Every time i show up at Ray jay stadium I'm overwhelmed by the size of the stadium, score boards, and amazing fans...
Pros: Good seating & views Cons: Tampa Bay=very warm
Located in Tampa, Florida...Raymond James Stadium is the HOME of the NFC Central Champions. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gotten a lot better since this stadium was made in 1998. The stadium before Raymond James was filled with many bad memories....
Pros: Great views of the field and Bay area from most seats! Unlimited Parking. Cons: Hot as hell from August through early October! Upper decks are not connected.
I'm a homer but on TV no stadium looks cooler than Ray Jay with the pirate ship. Truthfully however it is MUCH smaller that it looks on screen. If you're going to go to an event there I would try to stay out of the angled corners of the stadium. You ...
Pros: great architecture, great camaraderie, Cons: typical drunken, ill-behaved-at-times fans, immense heat, crowds
I greatly admire nearly everything about Raymond James Stadium. Yes, you're going to sit in the heat, and yes, other fans (even those who root as you root) might annoy you (get an usher/security if things get out of hand), and yes, paying three dollars ...
Pros: Weather, cheerleaders. Cons: Bud Light and unfriendly security staff.
Overall, Raymond James was a disappointment. Maybe it's because I compare everything to Lambeau Field which sets the bar pretty high for stadium layout, ambiance and ammenities. At least RJS isn't a dome, right? The stadium is a theme park unto ...
Pros: Look, Environment, Variety, Activity of stadium Cons: Cost for the Look, Environment, Variety, Activity. Incredibly hot early in the season
This very photogenic stadium is finally starting to see its potential. After hosting the Superbowl in 2001, the "Ray-Jay" received national attention. The stadium is alive in every corner. The pirate ship is a sight in itself. The area around it become ...
Pros: Location, Parking, Tailgating, Food and Beverage Selection, The Greatest Football Team on Earth Cons: I have nothing bad to say about Raymond James Stadium!
I have been a Buccaneer season ticket holder for many years. Although I do miss the Big Sombrero, it was time to move on to a newer facility.
My seats are in the north end zone, four rows off of the field. My only complaint about my seats, which...
Pros: luxurious, great football team and soccer team, not to mention USF! Cons: luxurious to the point where it is not affordable, no history
This stadium is great, don't get me wrong, but it just wasn't worth the taxpayers money. The glazers are so cheap that they made the city pay to keep the team in town. The "Old Sombrero" was the coolest stadium with so much history that I...
BOY If you want to see a cool looking stadium See this one.. there is a boat in it that has cannons that blow off when there is a touch down.. If you are not ready for it it will freak you out. It has closed in box seats that you can order food from or...
Pros: Great access and seating Cons: food too pricey
I have been to many Buc games at the old stadium and to a couple of their games at the new stadium. Ray-Jay, as it is known in the Tampa Bay area, is one of the best I have been in. Granted I haven't been in many and we aren't a dome like many of it's...
Pros: Just a fun place to be. Cons: Parking-so what else is new?
The R.J. is the best,bar none. Great seats, great food, great sight lines (especially in hot weather !) and great Bucs football. Having been to most of the stadiums in the Northeast, the R.J. has it all over them.
The only thigh I am...
ive been to a few stadiums didnt care for this one much. Not a fan of the bucs but the pirate ship is definately different. Seemed too small and didnt like the area surrounding difficult to park etc.
