The people who were with me kept joking, "Rick, keep your hands in your pockets"! and "You know they're gonna want to search you before you leave"!

Thanks for all the photographs. I'm not even a big football fan, and I'm in awe of what you saw. :D

I wonder what they do with all the equipment at the end of the year. I love to pick up a Roy Miller helmet & cleats

Did you ask why they have the college helmets on the shelf?

Russ, they were just for display. No functional purpose really.

Are they going to wear those throwbacks helmets or are they old ones? I love those throwbacks. That is a really cool tour you went on. What jerseys are hanging on the hangers near the helmets? Getting ready for the game?

34 - Last picture posted - I see a row of blacks with "C" patches. Makes you wonder. Obviously this team fashions their own jerseys in house. Nice pics.

That is Josh Freeman's jersey at the front of the rack. From what I was told, they only do repairs and some customization (tailoring) in house.

Oh my goodness! I'm a highschool football coach and equipment manager. Those pictures are like a sneak peek of heaven! I keep all my equipment in a 10x20 room! Did you ask for a job?

Love the pics and thanks for sharing!!

I accompanied a group of British Bucs fans, known as "The Bucs UK", on the tour. They comprise the largest foreign fan club of any NFL team. They made me an honorary member and put me in their "Hall of Fame" gallery in 2009.

They also run the most concise and complete website for any NFL team, hands down. American-run "official team sites" don't even come close to the quality and quantity of informative content found on the Bucs UK site.

So much so, that other NFL teams have contacted them about revamping and running their sites for them.
