Of Course, I will be at the 2006 Buccaneer Fan Fest. I never miss it, what true fan would? If I lived in Alaska, I would still be here for this event. This is truly a way for the Bucs to give thanks to their fans.
Ok for those that have never been here is how it works?
9:30 am gates open, and on-field activities and Pirate ship open. However, most of us will still be standing in a line of about 40,000 waiting to get our VOUCHERS for club level autographs. In fact most of us have been waiting since 6:00 am. YES, a die hard Bucs fan gets up at 6:00 am and waits in line to get his VOUCHER to get the Rookie of the Year(Cadillac Williams') autograph. A small price to pay but well worth it to me.
10:00 All autograph areas open ( and there is a lot of areas to get autographs. Ok, here is how it works, the stadium is broken into for corners, A, B, C, D. Each club level gets an A, B, C, D. Inside each area is 3-4 players that will sign autographs for you. The nice thing is that this is inside the air- condition, which as we all know Florida heat is a killer.

12:15 Pm Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders Performance, which I can't miss because my buddies girlfriend is a new 2006 cheerleader, (I guess that means more perks, and another source for me lol.)
Coaches Corner with Head Coach Jon Gruden, General Manager Bruce Allen, and other Buccaneers Coaches. This is usually a Q and A session with the fans.
Anyway this is so exciting, I am like a little kid when it comes to my Bucs. I will try to get some photos and post them on here for all to see. GO BUCS.

do you get to talk to the players? I would be interested in seeing what some these guys have to say.
Yes, it is a one on one, they are sitting behind a big table that you walk up to. When you are up there say with Cadilliac Williams the line is behind you. Since it is a voucher they run out when they think there is enough fans for that player.
