The Tampa Bay Buccaneers conclude their three-game homestand at Raymond James Stadium on Thursday, December 11, with a primetime showdown against the division rival Atlanta Falcons at 8:15 p.m. ET, presented by Publix. The Thursday Night Football matchup marks Tampa Bay's annual Creamsicle Game, celebrating the iconic Bucco Bruce era with retro-inspired visuals, special recognitions, and enhanced in-game entertainment. As part of the celebration, the team will wear their iconic Creamsicle uniforms, once again paying tribute to the organization's original uniforms and color scheme. Upon entry, fans will be given a special creamsicle-themed t-shirt, presented by Publix, while supplies last.
Coinciding with Thursday's primetime matchup, the Buccaneers will also celebrate the streaming debut of Raise The Flags, the team's new 10-part docuseries chronicling 50 seasons of Buccaneers football. Beginning December 11, fans can stream the series exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, offering an in-depth look at the franchise's history, defining moments, and iconic figures through never-before-seen footage and firsthand storytelling.
Before kickoff, Buccaneers Legend Richard "Batman" Wood will lead the team through the Hallway Walk, while Tampa Bay's third-ever draft pick, Dewey Selmon, will serve as Captain of the Krewe. The national anthem will be performed by singer/songwriter MAYCE, from St. Petersburg, Florida, and fans will be treated to a Coast Guard flyover out of Air Station Clearwater moments before kickoff. Throughout the game, the Buccaneers will honor their history with a special recognition of the club's original 1976 team and a salute to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleading alumni, who will be featured during in-game breaks and stadium activations. The evening's halftime entertainment will feature a first-of-its-kind drone show at Raymond James Stadium, presented by GEICO, celebrating 50 seasons of Buccaneers football with 1,000 drones, 12 custom scenes, and a dynamic eight-minute aerial performance above the north scoreboard.
On Sunday, the Buccaneers and the Glazer family will continue recognizing recipients of the Glazer Family Small Business Fund, welcoming members of the Plant City Chamber of Commerce to Raymond James Stadium. This week's spotlight features husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Camryn Hatch and Dallas Cotton, owners of Busy Bee Printing & Engraving and Premium Media, respectively. The two previously shared a workspace that was severely flooded during Hurricane Helene, forcing both businesses to close – Cotton's for three weeks, and Hatch's until January. Both companies experienced substantial equipment loss and repair needs, but support from the Glazer Family Small Business Fund helped cover staffing during downtime and enabled the couple to relocate their businesses to a new facility, allowing operations to fully resume and stabilize. To date, the Glazer Family Small Business Fund has distributed more than $1.2 million in grants to nearly 300 small businesses.
As part of the Tampa Bay Chef Series, presented by Corona, Week 15 will highlight Chef Raymond Ortiz of Forbici, who will present an Italian Grinder – a stacked ciabatta sandwich featuring turkey breast, salami, provolone, fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, mayonnaise, pepper relish, Italian dressing, and oregano. The dish will be available in the Hyundai Club (Section 212), Stadium Club (Section 237), and main concourse (Section 108).
Fans can also shop the feature merchandise of the game – the Creamsicle Originals capsule by Mitchell & Ness – a new apparel collection celebrating the Buccaneers' Creamsicle legacy through modern interpretations of classic looks. Select items from the line, including apparel featuring retro marks and 50th-season detailing, will be available at the Bucs Team Store.
