Below is a map of Stadium area.

Lopez Park opens at 10 AM! Several of us plan on being there by 10 AM or earlier. There may be a line waiting to enter.

How to get "into" Al Lopez Park

Check the map and you'll see that Himes ave runs along the east side of Raymond James Stadium, heading North past the stadium you want to go past MLK Blvd, then make your first left into the park, when entering the park stay left and follow dirt path/road, it bend to the right and we'll be on the left a short distance from the bend. At the south most end of the park where it stops at MLK Blvd.

Im in for sure! I still have the "FedEx South" sign at home in the Garage hanging! Ill make a bigger one this year tho! Im hoping we can get ALOT of skins fans down here. This is a 4:15 games, so will be alot of tailgating. Al Lopez park opens EARLY on game day, real early...... and the weather here (for my Northern friends) should be balmy, about 85-88 with slight winds from the SSE off the Gulf. No showers....Just BOMBS (no little canons :) ) from RG3 to Garcion.

Ill have 7-8 Skin Fans with me. Lets invade the little Pirates, sink their little ship and keep FedEx south going strong.

Id probably try to get tickets early tho beings its only week 4 and the 2nd home game (after a 2 game road trip). They wont be out of the Playoffs at this point yet so their fans will be at the game. Im actually hoping they come into the game with a 2-1 record. Losing to Panthers week 1 but beating the Girls and Gnats....only to get POUNDED by the skins.
So, if this is the case, we diffentially need to start getting tickets early.


HAIL

One reason I posted this early, the tickets need to be goobled up asap. Look forward to seeing you again, HAIL./

I'll be there with a few others. I'm sure MonkArt will attend. Looking forward to it again as usual.

I thought the Panthers stadium was FedEx south?

I've been to every Tampa game since I moved back to Florida in 2001. I'll be there with a few Skins fans, and a few Tampon friends.

Looking forward to this!

I remember this

I remember the TB playoff game from 2006, the stadium felt like it was half Redskins fans.

UGH...My wife just HAD to be due on the 26th. I was going....but only if it were later in the season. Oh well. Looking forward to seeing the B&G fans on tv!

Love the face painted photos, OP. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when David Putty painted his face for a NJ Devils hockey game and told Elaine "Gotta support the team."

I was there for the playoff game in 2006. Looking forward to another great Redskins Tailgate at Al Lopez Park!!

Are the Bucs in the NFC East? Because it seems like we play them as often as we do the Egales, Giants, and Cowboys.

Abby and I will be there! I can't wait to takeover again! I know it's early, but count us in for cornhole and whatever we need. We can possibly bring a tent as well. It should be a lot of fun like always!

The Bradenton Redskins Fan Club hopes to be representing loud and proud this year at FedEx Field South.
We had a ball at Jacksonville back in 2010, frozen but fun. lol We'll be bringing our banner as well,
hope to meet more South FedEx Field fans, too. H T T R !!

Our Bradenton Redskins Fan Club outside our club gathering in October 2009 vs Carolina.
This was our annual Tailgate Party Day. (that's 63 strong) lol

I'll most likely be going down for this. My future roommate and I have gone to the last 3 Bucs/Skins games (He's a Bucs fan) and have always talked about going to Tampa. This year the stars are lining up for it.
