Raymond James Stadium: the Bag Rule Every Bucs Fan Should Know
You can bring in a clear stadium-approved bag. They even sell them at the team store if you forget—nice marketing, right? You can also bring a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Seriously. A Ziploc works. Just don’t be the person with sandwich crumbs in it.
Blankets and jackets are fine, but you have to carry them. Leave the giant purse at home. And for the love of all that is holy, do not bring a backpack unless it’s clear and meets the size limit. I saw a guy last season get turned away with a sweet leather bag. He looked like a sad pirate.
Medical bags and diaper bags are allowed with the person who needs them. But they’ll be searched extra carefully. Don’t test the system with a "medical" bag full of beef jerky.

The "Oh No, I Forgot" Panic Plan
So you’re at the gate and you realize your bag is a no-go. Don’t panic. Seriously, don’t. You have options.
First, there are bag check tents outside the stadium. For a small fee—usually cash—you can stash your forbidden bag and pick it up after the game. It’s like coat check, but for your regrettable life choices.
Second, you can walk back to your car. Yes, it’s a hike. But it’s better than tossing a perfectly good bag in the trash. Pro tip: leave your bag in the trunk before you even park. Future you will thank past you.
And if you’re really stuck, look for a friendly tailgater. Bucs fans are usually nice. Someone might let you stash your bag in their cooler. Just be ready to share a beer in return.
