Raymond James Stadium® Security Policies

PAT DOWNS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

SECURITY MEASURES INCLUDE PAT-DOWNS AT ALL BUCCANEER HOME GAMES

Stadium personnel will search all bags. All patrons are subject to search. This policy is for the safety of all in attendance. To increase the security and safety of fans attending Buccaneer games at Raymond James Stadium, PAT-DOWN searches will be conducted on EVERYONE prior to entering the facility. This search will include ALL FANS, players, coaches, media, entertainers, employees and guests. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS! Bags and purses are still subject to inspection and search.

Fans are strongly encouraged to arrive at the stadium gates to Raymond James Stadium earlier than usual to help facilitate this increased comprehensive security measure. Inspection points will be established at all entry points. “Pat-downs” of all people entering NFL stadiums has taken place on a frequent basis in recent years. We ask for the patience and full cooperation of all guests attending the game and request that they respect and adhere to the policies and procedures.

All coolers, hard containers, large bags and backpacks are prohibited. PROHIBITED ITEMS WILL NOT BE STORED AT THE GATES, THEY MUST BE RETURNED TO YOUR VEHICLE OR THROWN AWAY!
