The second home game for the Bucs on Sunday will mark the first game that fans will be in attendance at Raymond James Stadium. On Tuesday, the Bucs, USF and the Tampa Sports Authority held a joint press conference to discuss the details of having fans back in the stadium.
According to reports from Greg Auman of The Athletic about the press conference, all fans will be required to wear masks for every Bucs and USF game this season, while no bags will be permitted into the stadium. All bathrooms will be touch-less, and only credit cards will be accepted for purchases.
Part of the accommodations that the Tampa Sports Authority have provided has been placing 775 sanitizing stations throughout the stadium. They also announced that no tailgating will be taking place.
As the Bucs begin the process of bringing fans back in, team CEO Brian Ford stated that Sunday’s game will have less than 10,000 attendees, but the plan is to expand that to 16,000 fans by their next game in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers.
The Bucs play against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday with a chance to start out 3-1 on the season.
