Patriots Fan Invasion Expected, Promoted
November 5th, 2025
Oh, boy. There will be ugliness on Sunday.
Joe feels for the Bucs fans who will spend hundreds of presumably hard-earned dollars to sit in a swarm of Bucs-bashing fans screaming for the opposition. That’s a quality experience.
Brace yourself.
Not only are there just about zero unsold tickets available for the Bucs-Patriots game, Joe has been studying Patriots fan sites and there seems to be extreme mobilization for attendance on Sunday.
One “Tampa New England Patriots Fan Club” is promoting a full weekend of festivities, including a gathering Saturday night in South Tampa and a postgame concert in South Tampa (shame on that establishment) in addition to a massive tailgate. The group claims FOX-13 TV in Tampa is planning a feature on their unity and spirit to support the Patriots in Tampa. Joe is temporarily boycotting the station.
Joe also has seen that the Patriots organization sent information to season ticket holders about supporting the team in Tampa.
As of 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday the cheapest unsold ticket remaining for the game on TicketMaster.com is $578.30 plus tax. The least expensive verified resale ticket on the site is $232.00 plus tax. Those realities, of course, are subject to change.
