About Raymond James Stadium

Raymond James Stadium

Raymond James Stadium stands as Tampa's premier sports and entertainment venue, hosting both NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and University of South Florida football games in a modern facility that opened in 1998. What truly sets this stadium apart is its iconic 103-foot replica pirate ship perched behind the north end zone, complete with cannons that fire whenever the home team scores, creating an unforgettable gameday spectacle. With a capacity of nearly 70,000 that can expand for major events, the stadium has become a must-see destination for sports fans seeking an authentic Tampa Bay experience with a swashbuckling twist.
