We were season ticket holders during the Covid season (got to go to one game), and the following two seasons. We decided to give up our tickets, and go to one or two games each season instead. Mainly financial reasons.
This coming season is different. I cannot bring myself to go to any games this year. Refuse to support these bonehead owners. Refuse to support the loser HC and DC. Refuse to support a team which doesn't seem to have plans to improve beyond the past four years of mediocrity. They won't get one single dollar of financial support from me.
Conversely, we just spent $460 yesterday to attend three Rays games in section 103 right behind home plate, and premium parking in lot 5 right next to the Trop. We will gladly pay for all our concessions while at the games. We will continue to support the Rays as we always have.

I do not live in Tampa, so I rarely get to games, but I fully understand your decision. While some might label you less of a fan or attack your position, I think doing so is wrong. We all have limited time and money. Similar to you, I am debating getting NFL Ticket this year. It is not the money, but the time. I hate giving up time with my wife and kids. I hate being emotionally upset about the outcome of the game for a few hours after a loss. This year might be the first year I have not watched every single game since 1999. I managed to watch the game on the day my oldest daughter was born, so not watching a game is just not something I have done in a very, very long time.
My youngest is the only one who watches the Buccaneers. Sadly, she started watching them last year and bought a Mike Evans jersey. All to be close to her dad. The season turned to shit, and now Mike Evans is gone. I hope she sticks with it. If she does, I will likely watch the games again. She will be away at college, but we can talk about them.

yes, ideally a boycott is the way to go
if you keep going to the games with a shit product, what do they care; need to hurt them in the wallet
BUT...idk
now more then ever, in the internet social media age, the owners can feel the sentiment of the fan base. It's not like in the 80s, 90s, etc.
There was clear support to get rid of Bowles then it was almost business malpractice not too. They decided not too
You then had players talking out basically insinuating he was a joke (paraphrasing) in White and Diaby
You then have your face of the franchise not even bat an eye lash to leave us; which you'd have to think status quo of the franchise was a big reason as to why
Not sure what other signal the Glazers need but doing your part would be to not go to the games.
NOW....what if the Bucs deliver a winning product, than ok, maybe we are being hypochondriacs here but ill believe that when i see it. The only thing that can save this franchise is if Baker turns back into a top 10 Qb...but im not holding my breath on that as a forgone conclusion
Home opener.
Had season Tix up to Covid - too hot even with the club...ate up our whole Sunday. We have an 85" TV downstairs...with recliners...rather spend it on Bolts games. F the Rays. Hope they move. MLB's no cap league is a joke and no more corporate welfare. The new rays owners can get f Ed. No $$$$ for you.

Don't blame you at all.
