Raymond James Stadium
Tampa, FL · Stadium
Raymond James Stadium is stricter than the usual NFL clear bag rule. This is a full no-bag stadium. The only thing you can carry in is a small clutch or wallet no bigger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches, and that holds for Buccaneers games, concerts, and everything else. Even a clear bag over that size gets turned away.
Plan to travel light. Parking attendants hand out clear plastic totes so you can consolidate before the gate, and there are locker rentals on Tom McEwen Boulevard south of Gate C. Anything more than a clutch is best left in the car.
