The Tampa Sports Authority and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed in principle to a deal that will pave the way for $100 million in upgrades at Raymond James Stadium and increase the share of money taxpayers get from non-Buc events.
The improvements would give Raymond James Stadium the third-largest video board square footage in the National Football League, enhancing the stadium’s chances of bringing the Super Bowl here in 2019 or 2020. A new sound system and improvements to concession and concourse areas also are part of the package.
The agreement would have to be approved by the sports authority board, the Tampa City Council and the Hillsborough County Commission.
