Tampa Football Fans, All About Raymond James Stadium
Saturday, 3 January, 2026
Hey folks, Coby McConnell here, from Coby’s Tentless Termite and Pest Control. You know, when I’m not out there battling the tiny terrors that try to make your homes their own, I get to thinking about some of the bigger, more impressive structures we have right here in Tampa. And one that always comes to mind is Raymond James Stadium. Now, I’ve seen a lot of things in my day, and let me tell you, that stadium is a marvel. It’s not just a place for touchdowns and roaring crowds, though it certainly has plenty of that. It’s a landmark, a hub of activity, and frankly, a pretty darn clean place considering the sheer volume of people and events it hosts. And that’s not by accident, mind you. Even places this grand need a little attention to detail, just like your homes. Raymond James Stadium, or as many of us locals affectionately call it, “Ray Jay,” is more than just the home of our beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It’s a multi-purpose venue that brings in some of the biggest names in entertainment and sports from all over the world. You think about the Super Bowls it’s hosted – the energy, the sheer scale of it all! It’s a testament to what Tampa can do. And the architecture itself is pretty neat. That iconic pirate ship in the north end zone? Classic! It’s a real showstopper, especially when it fires off those cannons after a Bucs touchdown. It’s the kind of bold statement that says, “We’re here, and we’re having fun!” It reminds me a bit of how we like to make a bold statement when we eliminate a termite infestation – a clean sweep, leaving no trace of those unwelcome guests. But it’s not just about the Bucs. Ray Jay hosts major college football games, like the Outback Bowl, which is a huge deal for the city. It’s also a premier destination for concerts. I’ve heard stories, and seen the pictures, of massive crowds gathered to see some of the biggest musical artists on the planet. Imagine the logistics of setting up for a show like that, the sound systems, the staging… it’s a whole different ballgame than dealing with a few ants in the kitchen, but the principle of preparation and execution is the same. Think about the sheer number of people who pass through those gates. We’re talking tens of thousands for a single event. And with that many people, you have a lot of dropped food, spilled drinks, and general… well, life happening. The grounds crew and the stadium staff do an incredible job keeping the place in top shape. It’s a constant effort, a marathon, not a sprint, to maintain that level of cleanliness and functionality. And that’s where my mind, as a pest control professional, always drifts. Even in a place as well-maintained as Raymond James Stadium, the potential for pests is always there. Think about it: food vendors, concessions, restrooms, storage areas, even the surrounding landscape. These are all potential attractants for unwanted critters. But the good news is, places like Ray Jay have teams dedicated to ensuring that doesn’t become a problem. They have rigorous cleaning schedules, waste management protocols, and likely work with professionals to keep any potential issues at bay. It’s about prevention and proactive management. I remember one time, we were called out to a local business that was hosting a small event, and they hadn’t really thought about pest control in the lead-up. A few days before, they started seeing roaches. It was a scramble, but we were able to get in there and take care of it. But it was a reminder that even for temporary events, or places that are usually clean, you can’t let your guard down. Raymond James Stadium is a prime example of a facility that understands this. They have to. The reputation of the stadium, and by extension, the city of Tampa, depends on it. You wouldn’t want to go to a concert or a game and be distracted by a fly buzzing around your head, or worse. The events that unfold at Ray Jay are a huge part of what makes Tampa a vibrant place to live and visit. From the adrenaline-pumping excitement of a Buccaneers game, where every play is met with cheers or groans, to the unifying experience of a massive concert, where thousands sing along to their favorite artists, it’s a place that creates memories. It’s a place where communities come together. And let’s not forget the economic impact. These events bring people into our city, they fill hotels, restaurants, and local businesses. It’s a ripple effect that benefits everyone. So, when I see that stadium, I don’t just see concrete and steel. I see a hub of activity, a source of entertainment, and a symbol of our city’s ability to host the best. It’s a reminder that whether we’re talking about a massive stadium or your own home, attention to detail and proactive care are essential. We all want a clean, comfortable, and pest-free environment to enjoy our lives. So, next time you’re at Raymond James Stadium, soaking in the atmosphere, watching your favorite team, or enjoying a world-class performer, take a moment to appreciate the immense effort that goes into making it all happen. And remember, for all your pest control needs, big or small, tented or tentless, Coby’s Tentless Termite and Pest Control is here to help you protect your own little piece of Tampa. We’re the ones who make sure the only big attractions at your home are your family and friends, not any unwanted guests.
