Towering proudly in the vibrant city of Tampa, Florida, Raymond James Stadium is one of the most iconic venues in professional football and a premier destination for concerts and large-scale events. Home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 1998, this open-air stadium combines coastal Florida charm with world-class entertainment experiences.

Affectionately known as “Ray Jay,” the stadium is perhaps best recognized for its larger-than-life pirate ship, located in the north end zone, which fires its cannons every time the Buccaneers score. But its appeal stretches far beyond football—it has hosted Super Bowl LV, college football’s Outback Bowl, monster truck rallies, international soccer matches, and massive concerts featuring stars like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, and more.

With cutting-edge amenities, a warm-weather location, and a one-of-a-kind game-day atmosphere, Raymond James Stadium is the beating heart of live entertainment in Tampa Bay.
