Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl LV Victory
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl in their home stadium on February 7.
I’ve worked as a team photographer for the Buccaneers since 2004 and this was by far the strangest season I’ve ever been a part of. The empty stadiums, new elevated shooting positions, COVID testing and the ever-present KN-95 mask fogging the viewfinder in the Florida humidity made it the most challenging as well.
Getting a front row seat to document the evolution this unbelievable team, mixed with explosive young talent and hard working veterans, is something I will always be thankful for.
The Super Bowl victory came as a result of an unprecedented level of professionalism and dedication the franchise owners, staff, players and coaches throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m still amazed the team and the NFL were able to play a season safely during the height of the pandemic.
It’s a good time to live and work in sports photography in Tampa. Let’s keep these Championships coming home to Tampa Bay in 2021.
Here are a few of my favorite frames from SBLV between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
