The Buccaneers made history last February when they won Super Bowl LV, as they became the first team ever to win the Lombardi Trophy in their home stadium. But as huge as it was to blow the Chiefs out of Raymond James Stadium in 31-9 fashion, they didn’t get the full home-field advantage for the game.
With the NFL logo at midfield, “Chiefs” painted in one end zone, no cannon fire and the lack of the usual gameday elements, it was hard to really call Super Bowl LV a “home” game for Tampa Bay.
