Gameday Events at Raymond James Stadium | Tampa Bay Buccaneers Home Games

At the opening of every game, the stage gets set with The Raid! Witness an electric Ship Battle hype video, overhauled visuals, field-size Bucs and American flags, performances by the Bucs Beat Line and Bucs Cheerleaders – this is a pre-game party with the Krewe to make sure you're in your seat for! The Raid starts approximately 15 minutes prior to kickoff.

Bucs Beach is the pre-game must-visit, high energy destination featuring palm trees, sand and entertainment for Bucs fans of all ages. Pick up a signature drink from one of our tiki huts, kickback in a hammock under the palm trees and enjoy a rotation of live performances before kickoff.

Bucs Beach also features fan activations from partners, with tons of free giveaways and games.

Located in the South Plaza of Raymond James Stadium, Bucs Beach opens 3.5 hours before kick-off and closes at the start of first quarter. Bucs Beach is free and open to the public!

While you're at Bucs Beach, make sure you don't miss Bucsparilla – the official pre-game invasion! Our famous Pirate Ship roams outside the stadium with beads thrown to fans, ending at Bucs Beach with the official invasion 15 minutes prior to gates opening.

The kids-only zone includes inflatable football activities, interactive football clinics run by the Bucs Street Team, as well as visits from Captain Fear and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders for children to enjoy.
