Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tickets Information
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of 4 teams in the National Football Conference South Division (NFC South) – along with the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and New Orleans Saints – and one of 16 teams in the NFC which in turn is one of the two conferences in the National Football League (NFL).

The team known fondly to its fans as the “Pewter Pirates” and the “Bucs”, the Buccaneers have been playing football as part of the NFL since 1976 when, for that one year, they were part of the AFC West. From 1977, the Bucs have been a part of the NFC, starting out in the NFC Central all the way up to 2002 when they switched to the NFC South.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won 3 NFC Central Division championships (1979, 1981, 1999), 2 NFC South Division championships (2002, 2005) and 1 NFC conference championship (2002). Since the advent of the Super Bowl, the Buccaneers have played in 1 Super Bowl, which they won – Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003 beating the Oakland Raiders 48-21.

Until 1998, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played their home games at Tampa Stadium but now they play all they’re home games at the 66,000+ seat Raymond James Stadium (aka “Ray Jay”, “The New Sombrero”, “The CITS”), also home to the NCAA team the USF Bulls and the annual NCAA Outback Bowl. The Buccaneers’ uniform colors are pewter, Buccaneer red, orange, and black, and their mascot is named Captain Fear.

They are currently under the leadership of head coach Jon Gruden who has been in this role since 2002. Before that, he was Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders from 1998 to 2001, and before that was on the coaching and administrative staffs of the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, and the NCAA football teams for the Unversity of Pittsburgh, University of the Pacific, Southeast Missouri State Unversity, and the University of Tennessee.

A number of Buccaneers have earned their way into the pro football history books, including NFL Hall of Famers defensive end Lee Roy Seimon and quarterback Steve Young.  Three Pewter Pirates were honored by being sent to this year’s 2007 Pro Bowl, those being tight end Dave Moore, cornerback Ronde Barber, and outside linebacker Derrick Brooks.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished out 2006 with a .250 regular season record (4 wins, 12 losses). Get your Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets and see if they can turn up the heat this year.
