A Return To Greatness
For the first time since December 21st 2019, when the bucs lost a heartbreaker to the houston texans, i stepped back into raymond james stadium.
Thangs done changed since the last time I was here for a game.
I met some cool Dallas fans. This cat made the trip and came across some BUCS fans tailgating at 9a. He said he knew serious fans when he saw 'em and joined them for the rest of the day. That's football fandom.
The WhatTheBuc Tailgate is a MUST for the serious(yet civilized) BUC fan. Visitors are always welcome too.
Yep. Even Steelers fans are welcomed. Even though their team doesn't play for another 4 days.
The Dallas fans came out in DROVES.
Ever hear the one about lining up for an ass whoopin'?
The Tailgating Still going…
Ready to knock the gates down....
There's not tailgating until kickoff for this one. Lining up @ 6:15p. 8:20p Kickoff.
The walk in.. PRO TIP: Avoid the escalator if you can.
Sooooooo.. I'm not sure if this mural of Brady at the MENS restroom is supposed to motivate you to take a piss. Or scare the sh*t out of you.
Before the festivities get started.
This was one of the most ridiculous things I saw all week. I'm still confused.
Enemies at the gate...
Jason Pierre-Paul entered the stadium and made his rounds hyping fans up.
Game Time!!
Both teams lining up for the National Anthem.
I wish you could hear the reaction this Devin White pregame speech got. The audio wasn't broadcasted in the stadium. But, you somehow feel whatever it was he was saying.
This was ELECTRIC!!!
Bright Lights. on....Might as well shine.
This first-time fan in the Evans jersey had a damn good time. His daughter in #40 bought seats for her and her son last year. After the Super Bowl, Dad said "What about me?" Now, they're my new stadium neighbors for the season.
Pre-Game
The Cowboys Take The Field To Warm Up
Whenever Brady Hits The Field, Jay-Z’s “PSA” blares through the speakers in the stadium.
SoSo Def Producer Jermaine Dupri is the DJ booth announcing the signing of a young local Tampa talent.
Devin White Take Center Stage In The Pre-game Huddle To Hype Everyone Up.
Super Bowl celebration
This was special. Something that may not have gotten through on the television broadcast of the game. I’m not even sure if this was a part of the broadcast at all .
But the electricity in the stadium was at an all-time high. The atmosphere had to be close to the feeling of the actual Super Bowl itself. When the lights started flashing red, goosebumps immediately took over. From the countdown(which reminded me of Chris Jericho’s WWF debut as Y2J in 2000) to the highlight video and pyro cues, this celebration was perfection.

Walking Out With The VictorY
There’s nothing better than taking this walk. The repeated, often drunken and off-beat, chants of “Tampaaaaaa” followed by an off-beat “Baaaaaaay” are hilariously satisfying .
