The Parking Lot #13 @ Raymond James Stadium
Tampa, FL
Without knowing the parking situation, we chose Lot #13 and planned to tailgate.
The last NFL tailgate I attended, I made a short video about it, which unexpectedly made into the final round of a film festival.

The parking lots around Raymond James Stadium are fragmented and spread out. We ended up in Lot #13, which is fairly far from the stadium. It has portable toilets and costs $41, while the more expensive lots go for $95.40. Lot numbers are not clearly marked. As soon as we turned onto N. Himes Avenue, handmade “$20 Parking” signs began popping up, put out by individuals—likely nearby homeowners or condo owners.
When we first arrived, dust rose every time a car drove by. Not long after, rain moved in, turning the ground muddy and leaving puddles in some areas. A few tailgaters were scattered nearby.
