Besides hosting the college football’s Outback Bowl, “The New Sombrero” is also a great location to host the NFL’s Super Bowl. Raymond James Stadium has already featured one Super Bowl and is preparing to host Super Bowl XLIII in February of 2009.

Some of the features of Raymond James Stadium include 103-foot replica pirate ship that fires its cannons when the Buccaneers score. It also has two 92-foot video screens, giving fans the opportunity to watch a play they may have missed. These two features add a great deal to the fan experience, as does their attention to detail when it comes to concession stands, highlighted by Buccaneer Cove.
