Report: Bucs To Discuss $1 Billion Renovation Of The Licht House, One Season Outside Of Tampa
April 2nd, 2026
Team Glazer weighed in on Tuesday.
NFL owners like to make lots of money.
Joe has an idea. Perhaps teams could open more training camp practices and charge fans to enter, or sell a streaming package to view parts of every training camp practice. Lots of untapped fan happiness — and revenue — at training camp.
But training camp, of course, represents only fractions of a penny when it comes to the big business of NFL stadiums. NFL teams love to soak fans for cash and take sponsors to the cleaners in their stadia.
It’s the American way!
A report in the Tampa Bay Times today says the Buccaneers will be talking to the Tampa Sports Authority about renovations to the Bucs’ stadium that will cost up to $1 billion. Bucs owner Joel Glazer told Joe on Tuesday that stadium age demands the Bucs look at upgrades.
“We’re always looking at ways to improve the stadium, looking across the league and seeing what everybody’s doing,” Joel Glazer said to Joe and another reporter on Tuesday in Phoenix.
“We take note of what everybody does and kind of take a long-term approach to everything. … We’re always looking at that. Obviously, as the stadium gets older, there’s things that will be required. That’s something that we’re looking at.”
Glazer added that there’s no “crystal ball” to determine if the Bucs would be more likely to pursue a new stadium or renovations. He said either direction could be a great fit.
Per the Tampa Bay Times, The Bucs would need to relocate an entire season if major stadium renovations kicked off. This week, the NFL signed off on the Jaguars playing the 2027 season at Camping World Stadium in Orlando while their stadium in Jacksonville gets a makeover.
Joe heard all this and wondered if the Tampa Sports Authority would have been willing to lay out the cash to sign edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.
