Tampa Bay Bucs To Receive Huge Advantage After NFL Changes Schedule For Super Bowl Teams

As if Tom Brady needs anymore help.

COVID-19 changed a lot of the NFL’s practices during the 2020 regular season, and it will remain that way for Super Bowl LV.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that teams usually arrive in the host city a week ahead of time, but that will not be allowed as teams are not allowed into Tampa until two days before the big game.

In a season unlike any other, Super Bowl week will be unlike any other with the non-Tampa teams not scheduled to arrive until two days before the game, at the earliest, per sources.

It will be the first-ever virtual Super Bowl week.https://t.co/vHzSsUuPW9

That does not include the Bucs.

The Kansas City Chiefs won’t be allowed to travel to Tampa until Feb. 5, two days before the Super Bowl. Schefter says the team will arrive on February 6th.

The Bucs won’t have to do any traveling or any adjusting leading up to Super Bowl Sunday as the game is being held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

That is definitely an advantage for the first ever Super Bowl home team.

Many of the other events associated with Super Bowl week or be canceled, according to Schefter.
