Not a bad seat in the house in my opinion. Had a great time seeing my Bucs play the Jets when I was in town. Beer prices are getting up there at $9 a beer though, so will do more tailgating next time. Seats were easy to locate, as its a pretty straight forward stadium layout. Clean and easily accessible bathrooms. Limited food I ate was good(hot dog/pretzel).

It's been 10 years since I've been to a football game at this Stadium. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised at the quality, upkeep and experience that the Tampa Bay Stadium continues to make. The big screen monitors were by far the most brilliant and clear pictures on any Jumbotron that we've ever seen. The crowd was very well-behaved unlike Past Times in the sombrero. Just a great experience overall.

Let me start with the selection of food and drinks, since that’s where things got started when entering the stadium. The amount of choices outside of your average nachos and hot dog are nonexistent. I know you’re there to watch some football and not sit down to 5 star dining, but the lack of local food vendors is laughable. Also, everything is priced to reflect a premium product when that’s not even close to what you’re getting. 10 dollars for a Bud Light? Come on. Maybe Raymond James is limited to only what they have due to the design/layout of the stadium, but strike up a deal with a few local restaurants and give people options. Now let me move on to the travesty that is the team store. The store itself is very nice and is a major addition to the stadium. The only problem is that you can’t access it if you’re already inside of the stadium. You have to exit the stadium and walk around to get to it which means you can’t get back into the game since they have a no re-entry policy. If you’re a season ticket holder, you’d know these little ins and outs such as eat before you get to the game, hit up the team store prior to the game, and expect to pay 10 dollars for a beer. The fan experiencing a home game at Raymond James for the first time is left in the dark. I just left the stadium feeling very underwhelmed. Maybe it was due to the high expectations that I’ve had over the many years of being an out of state fan and seeing it on TV or maybe it’s because of the product on the field. The pirate ship (which was closed off due to employee appreciation day) is basically the only reason why I gave Raymond James 2 stars. If the stadium didn’t have it, it’d be in rough shape.

I went as a Jets fan and had a blast! Gruff Tampa Bay fans were so fun in the parking lot. Lots of Jets fans. Stadium was packed with good food options. Lots of bathrooms and plenty of smoking sections. Pirate ship cannon was very loud. Easy to get in and out. Great time in general.

This is my first time back to Raymond James 15 years and this was the first time for my children. We were down for the Giants and Buccaneers game and it was fantastic. Even though we were in nosebleed seats there's no such thing as nosebleed and Raymond James because no matter how high up you are you have a clear view of the entire football field you see the entire game. All of the vendors were incredibly polite everything went so smooth and security was amazing. Raymond James is definitely a great place to go and watch a great name of football.

Venue is better than before, but I find it stupid to keep the fan shopping area inaccessible from the inside. Whoever thought of that should be fired. Just dumb. You should be able to go into the shop once you are inside the stadium. Unfortunately, you are screwed once inside. A real bummer for any fan hoping to get a souvenir. You have to go early or later after the event in order to shop. Just lame

One of the better NFL stadiums (haven't been to new falcons stadium yet). Cool atmosphere with the pirate ship. Smaller than your average stadium only about 65-67k seats which is nicer imo. Stadium staff have a tough time getting everyone into the stadium at one time so I would try to go early. Definitely the slowest lines to get into a stadium (NBA, NFL, or NCAA) I've experienced

I have been to several football games before but never this stadium until I went when the Buccaneers played the New York Giants, we left my house at 1 o'clock to get there early and the stadium is only a 30 min. drive from my house. We didn't wind up getting into the stadium until well after the game started. First we waited inline to get in inside at an entrance that did not have a Gate sign above it, little did I no I could not enter threw there. so after waiting in this long line we get all the way to the front and they tell us we have to enter threw are gate number witch was B, we asked where it was located and the guy told us on the opposite side of the building. So after running to get to are gate to try and get to are seats before the game would start it started to pour down rain, and this line was longer than the last line we were standing in, so as we are getting poured on and we are still waiting in this line we hear the national anthem start, and we figured out that are line wasn't moving because there was an altercation at the front of the line so they were letting no one in. Finally when we get into the stadium well after the game has started we go to get something to eat and drink. We stand in line get up to the front, I tell this lady everything I wold like, she yells out the two foot long hot dogs and the nachos with cheese I wanted handed me my two beers and told me to pay. So i pay without thinking that she wasn't going to get me everything I asked for, she hands me my two foot long hot dogs and told me to move out of the way for the next person in line. I said what about my nachos and my souvenir cup that I asked to be filled with cola, she said she didn't hear me order any of that, I said you even yelled out my nachos that I wanted, her response was well I didn't receive it so I didn't ring you up for any, I said next time before you ask for my payment maybe you should make sure you got the whole order right so this problem wouldn't happen, she told me to wait back in line if i would like anything else, and then I asked for a receipt for my purchases and she told me they don't had out receipts. I thought that whole situation was absolutely ridiculous so I just walked away and went back to my seat. I really wish I would have remembered every one of the employees names so I could list them in this review. I never had so much trouble in a stadium before, and I would gladly say I would never come back to this stadium again, if I already didn't buy tickets for when the Detroit Lions come to play the Buccaneers. Hoping I don't have another terrible experience like I did the last.

First Game, probably last. My niece and I came as invites, I'm plus size and my niece is in a wheelchair. This place was not friendly for overweight or disabled! Disable parking lot was full, we paid $25 to park in a wet, grassy area behind the NY Yankee building. Completely complicated to get my niece's chair off ramp and her in her chair. The walk was miles from stadium. I had reviewed website prior but no where did I see you could not carry a purse. I had to empty my bag into many clear bags, carrying important items for my niece's disability. Lines were long and not formed to go through the wands, then as we were getting our tickets scanned, we told to walk all the way on the other end to get tickets scanned. Waited in like in long line for elevator. Seats bruised my hips badly, very uncomfortable and painful, stood most of the game. Food lines were slow and long. Food prices were horrid like movie theaters. Merchandise was decent pricing. After game, police were directing traffic and parking tenants were nowhere to be found and we needed help. Game was great & exciting but the before and after experience, we won't return. Food servers and parking tenants need a customer service re-training-rude and unfriendly.

Overall a very nice venue to watch a sporting event or concert. Generally not a bad seat in the house but that can be subjective. There are plenty of restrooms to accommodate maximum crowds but like any venue when at capacity there never are enough restrooms. Access points are adequate and there is plenty of private parking around the stadium, depending on the event and proximity to the stadium, it can range anywhere from $10.00-$30.00.
Food is the typical fanfare of burger/hotdogs fries and then some other local cuisine but it's all carnival/fair type food.response / report this review -

Pretty good stadium and a great concert. There is a bit of an issue with the flow rate of people at different points (getting in the gates, moving through the food area to your seats, bathrooms, etc) but seats were wide enough for me, so I was happy.

It's a good stadium for taking pictures anytime. The facilities are always clean and fast. The food is really expensive for even stadium food that's why it got 3 instead of 4 stars. Tons of parking and easy to navigate.

A fun place for NFL football. Employees are nice. Games are exciting. Crowd is enthusiastic. Plenty of places to tailgate. Traffic before and after is very heavy.

My husband and I took our son here for the Monster Jam and we all had a blast. It was easy to find our seats and get food and drinks. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars was because of the price of the food and drinks. We understanding about making a buck but that doesn't mean it should cost over $50 for 2 waters, 1 soda, 2 cheeseburgers, French fries and a small personal pizza. I think the prices should be a little more reasonable. The shows was amazing though, just a lot of fun for us and for our sons first time going!!

Not a bad seat in the stadium. It is well maintained and clean, bathrooms too. Lots of variety on food and short lines because of how many food stations they have. Love the pirate ship, and all the decor. Parking can sometimes be a bear due to police blocking streets but it's all in an effort to speed it up I suppose. We just always park far away near the exit and walk. Staff is great and always helpful. Security very thorough. Always great experiences.
