The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be the first team in NFL history to play in a Super Bowl at its home stadium when the squad competes in Super Bowl LV in Tampa against the Kansas City Chiefs.
But how much of an advantage will Tampa Bay actually have? In terms of a vocal crowd that’s primarily pro-Buccaneers, probably not much of an advantage at all.
Due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the game will be the lowest-attended Super Bowl ever, and by a wide margin.
The National Football League has capped attendance at about 22,000, which is roughly one-third of the 65,890 capacity of the stadium.
