We are going on 8th December. Parking is relatively expensive ($25+) - I managed to book an AirBnB 7 blocks from the stadium with it's own parking space.

We got in touch with 'What the Buc', a group that runs a tailgate for charity near to the stadium, we wanted to make the most of the experience and have a beer.

Not been to Tampa but have been to Jacksonville to see the jags. We found off street parking $10 possibly the same around Tampa.

Been to Bucs game 3 times, and thoroughly enjoyed each game day. Make sure you take a photo of your car by a landmark if using the parking lots or stick something in the windscreen so you can spot it along with the "beeper" on your ignition key.

Remember the "Clear Bag Policy" and what you can and cannot take in to the stadium as they are very strict, (airport type security and police present) and don't forget your poncho "just in case".
Sometimes you will get free promotional cans of drinks or gifts just outside the stadium and walking through the "Tailgaters" can also be interesting, and you usually get a small rock band playing there as well. There will be large amounts of police all around and they are usually very happy to photograph you with them when they realise your a tourist if that's your thing, hope you enjoy the game.. will follow with interest...
