Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Detail: Professional football first came to Tampa, Florida in 1976, two years after the Bay area was awarded the National Football League's 27th franchise.  Through 28 seasons, the Buccaneers have seen good times and bad, huge home crowds and long road trips.  At the end of the franchise's 27th season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became home to the Lombardi Trophy after a victory over Oakland in the Super Bowl.
