On Sunday, October 26, before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Minnesota Vikings at Raymond James Stadium, the Buccaneers and the National Football League will host the Buccaneers Style Lounge, a first-of-its-kind experience for female football fans in the Tampa Bay area that will bring in an exclusive retail boutique showcasing chic and stylish ways to display Buccaneers pride. In addition to the Style Lounge, which is free and open to the public, Buccaneers fans will also have the ability to attend a special Women's Tailgate experience.
"Women make up a significant and essential part of our passionate fan base," said Glazer Family Foundation Co-President Darcie Glazer Kassewitz. "The Buccaneers Style Lounge and Women's Tailgate will provide a unique game day environment where our female fans can come together and discover new ways to combine their love of football with everyday life."
As part of the NFL's Style Lounge program, the Buccaneers were selected as one of a limited number of NFL cities to be visited by the team-themed pop-up boutique this season. The Buccaneers Style Lounge, which will be located in the South Plaza/Lot 5 area of the stadium, will offer fans a unique opportunity to view and purchase the season's top fashion pieces from NFL Apparel while learning how to seamlessly blend team spirit into daily outfits, whatever the occasion. Visitors to the lounge will also be able to receive complimentary "Fanicures" in team colors while enjoying an on-site DJ, photo opportunity, and tips from local professional stylists. The Buccaneers Style Lounge is free and open to all fans.
The team will also hold a special women's pregame tailgate party in connection with the Buccaneers Style Lounge. Both men and women are welcome, and the tailgate will provide a variety of interactive experiences, prizes and drawings for fans in attendance, as well as complimentary tailgate fare, wine tastings and a cash bar for those who pre-register. Wives of Buccaneers players and coaches will be on hand to mix and mingle with fans, and activity stations include a chance to brush up on the rules of the game from a female referee; dissecting game film and breaking down plays with a Buccaneers Legend; the opportunity to learn cheer moves with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders; and the Red and Pewter Runway, which will give fans showing their team spirit the chance to walk a runway and compete for two complimentary suite tickets. In addition, various drawings will be held throughout the tailgate party for merchandise, Stadium Club tickets, lunch at the team's training facility and more.
While the Style Lounge is free and open to all fans, those wishing to attend the Women's Tailgate are encouraged to register in advance.
