The Buccaneers would love to maintain not only their winning streak but also of all the Tampa sports teams that have had an amazing winning streak in 2020. Inclusive they want to make NFL history as the first home team to play in the Super Bowl in their own home stadium.
As the Bucs get ready to hopefully make history at Super Bowl LV, fans have the chance to represent their team at the Super Bowl Experience (SBX) presented by Lowe's. The NFL's interactive football theme park was planned and temporarily built along the Tampa Riverwalk in downtown Tampa. The Super Bowl Experience starts Friday, January 29 through Sunday, January 31 and from Wednesday, February 3 through Saturday, February 6 and will follow safety protocols developed by the NFL in partnership with local officials and the CDC.
