Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced their plans for upcoming free events to mark the start of football season.
“Buccaneers fans have a lot to be excited about,” said Buccaneers Co-Chairman Bryan Glazer. “And we look forward to seeing them very soon at Training Camp and Night Practice, as well as our home preseason games versus the Patriots and Dolphins.”
For the third consecutive year, the Buccaneers will host Training Camp at One Buccaneer Place. This Camp will offer an even wider selection of free public practices, with a total of eight open dates. The action will begin on Friday, July 29, with a session from 5:15-7:15 in the evening. The full public schedule is detailed below.
No tickets are required for fan admittance to Training Camp in 2011, and those wishing to attend should monitor Buccaneers.com for practice updates, as the schedule is subject to change. The site also features Training Camp guidelines, including parking information and a map of One Buccaneer Place with which visitors are encouraged to familiarize themselves.
Fans visiting Training Camp can expect the same enhancements the team delivered last year – from every public session being held on Field 3 for optimal viewing, to autograph sessions, free parking, a merchandise tent, discounted concessions and appearances by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders and Captain Fear.
Back by popular demand is Night Practice, sponsored by Bright House Networks, to be held Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, August 6, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. This popular event will feature practice under the lights, free parking, $1 hot dogs and soft drinks, plus a fireworks show.
In the coming weeks, the Buccaneers begin their preseason game schedule, where, after traveling to Kansas City to face the Chiefs on Friday, August 12 at 8:00 p.m., they will welcome the New England Patriots to Raymond James Stadium on Thursday, August 18 at 7:30 p.m., and then host the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, August 27 at 7:30 p.m. Tampa Bay closes preseason action at the Washington Redskins on Thursday, September 1 at 7:30 p.m.
