It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If anyone lives nearby and would like to meet up, then I'm putting it out there that I am planning on attending this one. It's a bit of a far drive for me, but I still plan on being there.
Lmao. I know what you mean. I'm definitely be wearing a visor and likely a Pats shirt with cut off sleeves. I'll also be plenty hydrated.I'm in Tampa but a September day game identifies the limits to the suffering I'll do for the team .
I believe this will be the first time Brady has ever played in Tampa, crazily enough. Because the last time we were a road team against them, it was in London back in 09. The matchups in 05 and 13 against them were at home, and in 2001 the division's weren't realigned yet.
Is there any other place that Brady has not played, not counting LA?
The last few years the Bucs (just like Miami) have asked the NFL to limit early season home games in order to boost attendance. If they do play at home in September they request a night game or a late kickoff. Fans were staying away rather than wilting away.I'm in Tampa but a September day game identifies the limits to the suffering I'll do for the team .

That's better than a 1:00 game though to be honest, not much. While fans are at least out of the sun at its highest point it is still really rough. Unlike northern climates the heat and humidity barely drop at all late in the day and early evening in September in central Florida.
Last year the Bucs first four home games were
week 3 (9/25) at 4:00 (loss),
week 4 (10/2) at 4:00 (loss),
week 8 (10/30) at 1:00 (loss), and
week 9 (11/3) at 8:30 (loss)
In 2015 Tampa's first four home games were
week 1 (9/13) at 4:30 (loss),
week 4 (10/4) at 1:00 (loss),
week 5 (10/11) at 1:00 (win), and
week 9 (11/8) at 4:00 (loss)
In 2014 their first four home games were
week 1 (9/7) at 4:30 (loss),
week 2 (9/14) at 4:00 (loss),
week 6 (10/12) at 1:00 (loss), and
week 8 (10/26) at 1:00 (loss)
That's just four September home games in three years, and ten September/October home games in three years. The game is more likely (hopefully) to occur later on in cooler (for Florida) weather - ie, perfect weather for someone visiting from New England.
