About Raymond James Stadium

Home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Raymond James Stadium in the Carver City area of northwest Tampa is famous for its end-zone pirate ship and also stages major concerts. The surrounding district is residential and suburban, with Ybor City's nightlife and the Tampa Riverwalk a short drive away. Transit options are limited, so most fans arrive by car or rideshare. Booking a hotel near the waterfront or downtown keeps the city's dining and bars close on a game night.
