Tampa Bay game in Tampa

Night of the Living Dead (night games) or Day of the Living Dead (for day games)

Weather?^
Atmosphere?
Meh.

(no message)

The atmosphere is pretty crap.

There is a lot of open field around the stadium, so they have a lot of tailgaiting. You can park for around 10-20 within a short walk from the field. The further you are willing to walk the cheaper it is.
They are friendly enough with Saints fans. I wouldn't expect to have your car messed with, or to get much of anything verbally from the Tampa fans. Saints fans will be well represented there. I like the stadium itself, very large concourses.
I think it's odd that at the top of each section they have a guy whose sole job is to raise and lower a flag when Tampa is in the red zone. Actually it's a pretty cool gig for a fan.

This I agree with.

Which doesn't happen very often.

Zero atmosphere.

Very depressing place.

Possibly the worst place to see a Saints away game.

I'd put it at the bottom of the list of places I've seen a Saints away game at:

Astrodome (vs Oilers) and Reliant (vs Texans)
Cowboys (old and new)
Falcons (Fulton County and GeorgiaDome)
Bengals (Paul Brown Stadium)
Nashville
Tampa (Ray Jay)

I like the stadium, easy to find food and stuff. The atmosphere is just awful though, tailgating is just meh. With it being a Saints game it may not completely suck with probably a large # of Saints fans.

Hopefully the weather doesn't suck though since the game is Dec. 28th, around that time when I went to the Outback Bowl last year it was pretty rainy and cold that whole week.

Thanks all. Who Dat. Can't wait to take my son to this game. Is parking expensive? Also, are there any restaurants or places around the stadium that you can get beer instead of paying $10.00 for a beer.
