Football season is here! While game tickets are much cheaper than last year because of Tom's retirement, it's still almost better to watch the game at these Tampa spots. First, you get to beat the heat and watch the game in some AC. Secondly, you'll most likely be able to see what else is going on in the league that day. Lastly, while we said game tickets are cheaper this year, you'll still cough up a lot of dough for parking and stadium food. Save some money by just drinking a couple of beers at these places! These are our favorite spots in Tampa to watch a Bucs game when we can't make it to Raymond James Stadium.

As fun as it is to hear the canons fire for touchdowns, making it to most home games can be challenging. Not to mention that we would turn into a puddle of sweat before the first quarter is even over. Sometimes we prefer to be able to sit down, relax, and still enjoy some Buccaneer football in an air-conditioned environment. And since we love our Bucs here in Tampa, we'll always be surrounded by fellow fans.

Able to make it to the game? Check out our favorite restaurants that are super close to Raymond James Stadium and skip the overpriced stadium food!

Riveters

Our top spot obviously has to be Riveters. Located right by Raymond James so it's always packed with Bucs fans on Sunday.

Pups Pub

What could be better than football and dogs? They have the Sunday Ticket so it's also a good spot to catch ALL NFL games!

Tampa Bay Brewing Company

Had to include a brewery in the list! Plenty of TV's at both locations in Tampa.

Hattricks

Normally one of our go-to spots for Lightning games as well!

Mother's - Westchase

Mother's has some of the best homemade food in Tampa. Not to mention they have a special for every day of the week and the bar is lined with huge TV's to catch the game.

The Blind Goat

With over 25 TVs and specials from open-close, The Blind Goat is a no-brainer for NFL Sundays.

Ducky's

Located off Kennedy blvd. Ducky's has something for everyone. Plenty of TV's line the walls so you can catch any game that's on. Plus if there are people in your group who don't care to watch the game, they can play plenty of arcade games and even bowling!

NEW TO TAMPA: The Yard House

This new sports/beer heaven is now open across Amalie Arena. They have over 130+ beers on tap and plenty of TV's to catch the game!
