How to get to an NFL game from WDW?

[CdnKayDee]

Hi all,

This is a transportation question of sorts. We are going to WDW and while we are there we are going to Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL game. What would be the best way to get from SSR to the stadium in Tampa Bay? Any and all suggestions and apprx time frames would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Never been to the stadium at Tampa but we have been to Bush Gardens in Tampa a number of times while staying at WDW. We use a rental car and the trip takes about a hour and half. We have a cell phone with a navigation system in it so it takes us right to Bush and if I knew the address for the stadium I am sure it would do the same for the game.

Luck and have fun.

I agree about renting a car but the time is a bit off. It takes us around an hour and a half to get all the way to Clearwater it won't take that long to get to Raymond James but do remember to plan for ALL the traffic going into and out of the stadium.

We always rent a car when going to Tampa to watch a game from WDW.

My dh is a huge football fan so sometimes enticing him to go to Tampa to watch a game is the only way I can get him to go to WDW.

I agree - you can rent the car from the Car care center - for a day it shouldn't cost you more than $30 or $40

My ds lives about 10 mins from the stadium....I know that it takes us about 85 mins to get from WDW to his place, depending on traffic. Once you get off the highway, it gets congested in that area.

I agree with the rental car suggestion. Best way to go.

The address of Raymond James Stadium is 4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy. It's near the airport. You'll probably get football game traffic, so I'd allow plenty of time to get there.

We are also doing this as we have never seen an NFL game and can't wait.....we hired a driver/van to take us as we want to enjoy a few beverages while there so our rental car will have the day off.........
