What about parking and admissions?

Parking and admissions are both free, even for the night practice at Raymond James Stadium. Parking opens 1.65 hours before practice starts.

Wait, night practice?

Yep. As has been the case for years now, the Bucs will hold one night practice for the fans at Raymond James Stadium. It's usually mostly a skills competition with lots of entertainment for the fans rather than a full practice, but it's lots of fun. If you have the chance, you should definitely consider going. The night practice will be held on Friday, August 1 from 5:00 until 10:00 PM.
