The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Advance to the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay
Raise the red flags! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to the Super Bowl. However, they won’t have to go far.
This is the first time in NFL history that the home team is also the host of the Super Bowl.

When the Bucs signed Tom Brady in the offseason there was a glimmer of hope around Tampa Bay that he may lead his new team to another Super Bowl. This will be Brady’s tenth Super Bowl and he already has six rings.
The Buccaneers will head home to Tampa Bay to prepare to play Kansas City.
Super Bowl 55 will take place on Sunday, February 7th at Raymond James Stadium!
