With the first year of Buccaneers training camp being back in the Tampa Bay area in a long time, I must say, I’m quite excited. Not only does it give more fans a chance to come out and see the Bucs, it gives more fans a chance to see the gorgeous new facility we have.

As you can see from looking at the schedule, there is a departure from two-a-days that Gruden used to schedule a lot, but in his later years began to cancel, even though they were on the schedule. The heat in Tampa in August is something that will have to be reckoned with, even when only practicing once a day.
