Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tailgate Charter & Raymond James Game Day Bus
Raymond James is one of the great Tampa Bay Buccaneers home venues — and the tailgate scene at Lot 14 and Lot 13 is the real show. Grills lit hours before kickoff, Buccaneers colors on every crew, and I-275 and Dale Mabry Highway bottleneck traffic that guarantees a party bus beats driving separately every single time.

Why Buccaneers Tailgate Groups Choose Unlimited Charters
Raymond James Access
Direct experience with Raymond James Stadium parking, Lot 14 and Lot 13, and the charter-lot rules. We've dropped groups at Gate A or Gate D more times than we can count.
Book 10-12 Weeks Out
Buccaneers rivalry games (New Orleans Saints, prime-time matchups, playoff weekends) sell out the tailgate-grade vehicle pool 10-12 weeks in advance. Lock in early.
Licensed & Insured
Every chauffeur CDL-licensed, every vehicle DOT-inspected and commercially insured. Certificate of insurance available for corporate suite groups and season-ticket-holder blocks.
Dispatch on Game Day
Real person on the phone if pickup runs late, if I-275 and Dale Mabry Highway bottleneck traffic backs up, if the post-game lot empty-out takes 2 hours instead of 1. We adjust the booked hours in real time.
Cargo + Climate Control
Real cargo space for coolers, grills, tents, cornhole. Climate control for Tampa, FL weather — whether it's an 85° opener or a chilly late-season game. Sound system to keep Buccaneers energy up on the drive.
8-Hour Package Pricing
Standard Buccaneers game-day package covers pre-game tailgate, in-stadium hours, and post-game (add hours for a sports-bar detour). All-in price = driver, fuel, insurance, gratuity, taxes. No surprises.
About Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tailgate Transportation
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers home game at Raymond James Stadium is one of the great football experiences — and it gets exponentially better when the crew arrives together, the coolers stay cold, and nobody has to designate a sober driver at Buccaneers' home game. A Buccaneers tailgate party bus solves the three problems every group organizer hits: Raymond James parking that runs $60-100+ per car (more on New Orleans Saints weekends), designated-driver selection (nobody in a group of loyal Buccaneers fans wants to skip the beer), and the post-game rideshare cluster when I-275 and Dale Mabry Highway bottleneck traffic hits surge-pricing hell.
Unlimited Charters operates a vetted network of party-bus and charter carriers with direct experience at Raymond James Stadium. Whether you're a 14-person work crew, a 30-person fantasy reunion, a 40-person corporate suite group, or a 56-person motor coach for a divisional playoff weekend — we've moved the crew, we know Lot 14 and Lot 13, and we know where to drop you at Gate A or Gate D without the walk.
Raymond James Stadium — Tailgating & Stadium Info
Stadium: Raymond James Stadium (Raymond James), Tampa, FL. Home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 9 home games per season.
Tailgate lots: Raymond James lots (13, 14, 6, 7) fill hours before kickoff; the campus becomes a full tailgate universe. The premier tailgate scene is at Lot 14 and Lot 13 — fills 5-6 hours before kickoff for regular-season games, 10+ hours before New Orleans Saints rivalry games.
Game-day traffic: I-275 and Dale Mabry Highway bottleneck, plus most home games are sellouts. Post-game exit typically takes 60-90 minutes to clear. Your driver knows the back-way routes.
Best drop-off/pickup gate: Gate A or Gate D for pre-game walk-in, and the same gate area for post-game pickup — we coordinate the specific spot with your group leader 48 hours before kickoff.
Fan culture note: the Buccaneer pirate ship cannon fires with every Bucs touchdown — tailgates in Lot 14 and Lot 13 turn into full pirate parties on rivalry weekends.

Group Sizes That Make Sense for Buccaneers Tailgates
- 14-passenger executive Sprinter — small work crew, family group, Parents-Weekend crowd. $1,400-$2,000 all-in.
- 20-passenger party bus — friend group, small fantasy league, small corporate suite. $1,900-$2,600.
- 30-passenger party bus — the most-booked size for Buccaneers tailgates. Fantasy reunions, big work groups, bachelor parties. $2,400-$3,200.
- 40-passenger mini-coach — extended family + friends, big corporate group. $2,800-$3,400.
- 45-passenger sorority/fraternity bus — full Greek chapter for a rivalry game. $2,600-$3,200.
- 56-passenger motor coach — biggest Buccaneers groups; per-person math wins big at this size ($50-60/person). $2,400-$3,200.
Per-person math: a 30-person group splitting a $2,700 party bus pays $90/person — usually cheaper than $60-100 parking + Uber both ways with surge pricing.

“30 of us from Tampa packed a 30-pax party bus for a Sunday-night Buccaneers game. Driver rolled us into the tailgate lot at 10 AM, we tailgated 5 hours, watched the Buccaneers win, driver was at Gate A. Cheaper than 8 Ubers with surge from the burbs.”— Mike R., St. Petersburg, FL
“14 clients from a Tampa company for a Buccaneers Monday Night Football game. 14-pax executive Sprinter, chilled drinks, driver in a button-down, VIP entrance drop. Certificate of insurance for our compliance team. Everything checked the boxes.”— Lauren M., Tampa, FL
“22 of us from St. Petersburg for the Buccaneers-Saints game. One party bus, 45 minutes each way, tailgate at the premier lot, driver was a pro. Way easier than 4 carloads of Floridians on the highway with post-game traffic.”— Kevin D., Bradenton, FL
“Called Monday for a divisional-round Buccaneers game 6 days out. Local supply was tight but Unlimited Charters found a 40-pax mini-coach dispatched from Orlando. Made it happen when nobody else could.”— Sean M., Clearwater, FL
