Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Hello, all! For my bucket list to visit every NFL stadium (currently have 7) I would like to visit the Raymond James Stadium during my September 2020 WDW trip. I would prefer not to drive but that's one heck of an Uber/Lyft. Any ideas on a car service that would handle Orlando to Tampa and back? If this isn't feasible, my next plan would be renting from Alamo via the Car Care Center. Any thoughts on the easiest directions to the stadium? Any tolls? I am completely unfamiliar with Florida roads being from Illinois. Thanks in advance, CM

Driving...You will take I-4 to Tampa. I-4 ends at I-275. Get on I-275 South The ramp will be the left two lanes. Once on I-275. Look for the 41A - B (Dale Mabry ) sign. Then look for the 41A exit. At the end of the ramp turn right (North). Drive until you see the stadium on the right.

The drive is not too bad. When I go to St Petersburg each year I take I-4/I-275 to get there.

There are no tolls.

You can not count on Uber/Lyft any way.
Not many drivers are gonna want to drive you to Tampa when they'll be very unlikely to get a ride back to Orlando at that exact time and as such, would have to drive back "for free"
Rental Car would be the best option. We've driven back and forth from Tampa a few times and unless it's been added really recently, no toll roads on that route.

No tolls added. Also no road construction. They finished that a few years ago on the I-4 portion as you get near downtown Tampa.

Also to help gauge your distance to the I-4/I-275 interchange. On I-4 the mile markers/off ramps will be counting down 0. Gives you an idea to when you should start looking at being in the left two lanes.

Thanks for the responses! Now I just have to wait until April for the schedule to drop.
