Tampa Bay Bucs Games - Noon or Evening games? (buying, price)

[Tampaite]

Thinking of buying tickets to one of the Bucs games - Weather and Parking wise - is it better to watch the afternoon(1pm kick off) game or at night(7.30pm kick off).

Considering, I might be going with out of state friends who have kids, want to make sure that during the late night games, we don't have to tackle mosquitoes/bugs to reach end(kill) zone.

Also, is it less crowded during pre-season games?

Definitely cheaper to go to preseason games. I bet you can find tickets on stubhub at a fraction of the price. Temps are still humid and always the chance of thunderstorms. $10 parking can be found on Dale Mabry. Not a far walk. Easy on to I275. The 4th preseason game will have nearly half empty stadium since the starters dont even suit up. Stubhub is the best source, imo. Maybe a lower bowl seat for close up action.

Reg season seats will be costly with good teams on the schedule this season. Cheapest tix will be division games. Avoid 1 pm start times unless you want to be miserable, hear your skin sizzle like bacon.

Just saw nosebleeds for $6, end zones $18 vs Skins. Same game experience. Players fighting for jobs.

4pm games are good. Only hot for the first half.

Mosquitoes have never been a problem for me. Not sure what that's all about. Perhaps use bug spray?

Thanks. That's cheap considering parking is about $25 per car. should we go for nosebleeds or end zone for visitors with kids ?

Thanks.

I'd buy end zone seats closer to the cheerleaders. Guess parking is okay. Might consider bringing grill, table chairs, toss football, cooler, beer, music, tailgate actvities.....don't go into stadium hungry or thirsty. Expensively bad food.

If you go to the 1:00 pm games and sit in a seat that's exposed to the sun, especially on the upper deck, you'll get roasted by the sun - on one side only. It's quite unpleasant.

My seats are upper deck, west side and I still get burned unless I'm lucky to be in the shade of the stadium light poles which is short term as the sun moves. I've sold a few of the tickets already just to get away from the Sept/Oct games.

Honestly, it won't matter until November. It'll be hotter than hell. Even night games are uncomfortable. If you must go before then and it's a day game, don't get tix on the visitor side (east side facing west) because you'll get torched.
