Below is a map of Stadium area.

Lopez Park opens at 10 AM! Several of us plan on being there by 10 AM or earlier. There may be a line waiting to enter.

How to get "into" Al Lopez Park

Check the map and you'll see that Himes ave runs along the east side of Raymond James Stadium, heading North past the stadium you want to go past MLK Blvd, then make your first left into the park, when entering the park stay left and follow dirt path/road, it bend to the right and we'll be on the left a short distance from the bend. At the south most end of the park where it stops at MLK Blvd.

PEP Rally info .........:point2sky

Team will be doing a Redskins Rally in Tampa the evening before the game.

I'm awaiting the flyer for it & will add it to the OP when I get it.

Rally will take place at:

Elmer's Sports Cafe

2003 E 7th Ave

Tampa, FL 33605

From 6-7:30PM on Saturday Sept 29th

Im in for sure! I still have the "FedEx South" sign at home in the Garage hanging! Ill make a bigger one this year tho! Im hoping we can get ALOT of skins fans down here. This is a 4:15 games, so will be alot of tailgating. Al Lopez park opens EARLY on game day, real early...... and the weather here (for my Northern friends) should be balmy, about 85-88 with slight winds from the SSE off the Gulf. No showers....Just BOMBS (no little canons ) from RG3 to Garcion.

Ill have 7-8 Skin Fans with me. Lets invade the little Pirates, sink their little ship and keep FedEx south going strong.

Id probably try to get tickets early tho beings its only week 4 and the 2nd home game (after a 2 game road trip). They wont be out of the Playoffs at this point yet so their fans will be at the game. Im actually hoping they come into the game with a 2-1 record. Losing to Panthers week 1 but beating the Girls and Gnats....only to get POUNDED by the skins.

So, if this is the case, we diffentially need to start getting tickets early.

HAIL

One reason I posted this early, the tickets need to be goobled up asap. Look forward to seeing you again, HAIL./

I'll be there with a few others. I'm sure MonkArt will attend. Looking forward to it again as usual.

I thought the Panthers stadium was FedEx south?

I've been to every Tampa game since I moved back to Florida in 2001. I'll be there with a few Skins fans, and a few Tampon friends.

Looking forward to this!

I remember this

I remember the TB playoff game from 2006, the stadium felt like it was half Redskins fans.

UGH...My wife just HAD to be due on the 26th. I was going....but only if it were later in the season. Oh well. Looking forward to seeing the B&G fans on tv!

Love the face painted photos, OP. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when David Putty painted his face for a NJ Devils hockey game and told Elaine "Gotta support the team."

I was there for the playoff game in 2006. Looking forward to another great Redskins Tailgate at Al Lopez Park!!

Are the Bucs in the NFC East? Because it seems like we play them as often as we do the Egales, Giants, and Cowboys.

Abby and I will be there! I can't wait to takeover again! I know it's early, but count us in for cornhole and whatever we need. We can possibly bring a tent as well. It should be a lot of fun like always!

The Bradenton Redskins Fan Club hopes to be representing loud and proud this year at FedEx Field South.

We had a ball at Jacksonville back in 2010, frozen but fun. lol We'll be bringing our banner as well,

hope to meet more South FedEx Field fans, too. H T T R !!

Here's Chief Z, outside the stadium in Jacksonville in Dec 2010.

He signed our banner and posed with a couple of us.

Here we are at frozon Jacksonville Stadium, December 26th 2010.

The Redskins won this game for us in OT !!

Our Bradenton Redskins Fan Club outside our club gathering in October 2009 vs Carolina.

This was our annual Tailgate Party Day. (that's 63 strong) lol

I'll most likely be going down for this. My future roommate and I have gone to the last 3 Bucs/Skins games (He's a Bucs fan) and have always talked about going to Tampa. This year the stars are lining up for it.

I'll be there with another Skins fan

Cool, I am really pumped for this and will try and head up some organized efforts. Yes bring banners, flags signage and of course hog noses. We definately freaked out the Bucs fans last time we were there we lost, but Campbell had a chance at the end and threw his usual force into the endzone. Got some great pics of Joe Gibbs, Portis and Cooley.

Got a Moss glove for my son's b-day, made the loss sting a little less. Plus the post tailgate was awesome, see the Bucs fan in the OP.

We don't usually travel with the team but we did fly down for the Tampa Bay playoff game in 2006 and had a blast. Great game, great weather, and met some new friends.

The first pic is us with a couple of friends we met tailgating and the second pic is a group we met walking up to the stadium.

We won't be there this time but a Skins game in TB will always bring back great memories for us.

Count me in.

I moved to New Tampa almost 2 years ago. To my suprise, Mike Sellers actually works out at the same gym (LA Fitness) as me... great guy and didn't want to see him leave. Anyways, I'm in like Flinn for this game! I went to the Dolphin game last year... This will be my first Skins game in Tampa, so I look forward to reading where the meet up spot is. HTTR!

jonathanmango, the main tailgate should be at Al Lopez Park across the street from the stadium. We will use this thread to organize who's bringing what.

I should be there

I will be going to the game as well I have went to all the Skins games in Florida since i moved here will be going with my bro in law who has a parking pass for lot 13 so prob will not be able to attend the tailgate if it is at Al Lopez :-(

-I was at the`regular season game in 05' when Alstott was stuffed on the goal-line but they gave him the 2 point conversion....

-I was at the regular season game in 06' when Campbell got his first start and we lost another heart breaker...

-I will definitely be there to see RG3!!!!

pentagno, you can park at the stadium and walk across the street to the park. We had lot's of fans doing that at the past tailgates we had at Al Lopez Park.
