TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS TICKETS

It may have been a rough start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost their first 26 games after joining the National Football League in 1976. But just three years into their existence, the franchise became the first post-AFL/NFL merger expansion team to win a division title, win a playoff game, and host a conference championship game. Tampa Bay has made 10 playoffs appearances in all, their signature moment being a win in Super Bowl XXXVII. Join Bucs Nation for a home game at Raymond James Stadium.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS TEAM INFO

A 5-11 finish in 2017 means the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now endured 10 consecutive seasons without a playoff bid. Head coach Dirk Koetter hopes to right his ship with the help of Jameis Winston, though he’ll be without the 2013 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback for the team’s first three games due to a league-mandated suspension. His absence means backup Ryan Fitzpatrick will get his shot.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS HISTORY

It’s not often that coaches enter the trade market. But that’s exactly where Jon Gruden found himself in the winter of 2002. That February, Tampa Bay sent two first-round draft picks, a like number of second-round picks, and $8 million to the Oakland Raiders for Gruden. It was a huge gamble, but it sure paid off. Less than a year later, Gruden would lead his new team past his old team in Super Bowl XXXVII, delivering the franchise’s first and only Vince Lombardi Trophy via a 48-21 triumph.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS HOME: RAY JAY

Home to both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the University of South Florida Bulls, Raymond James Stadium, aka Ray Jay, is a multi-purpose, 65,890-seat facility that is also a regular stop for the Outback Bowl and the Monster Jam tour. It has hosted Super Bowls XXXV and XLIII, and is slated to host Super Bowl LV in 2021. Following the completion of a $140-plus million renovation in 2016, the stadium now boasts one of the most technologically advanced HD video systems in the world.
