SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Sources: Super Bowl teams not allowed in Tampa until 2 days before game https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30769839/sources-super-bowl-teams-not-allowed-tampa-2-days-game Super Bowl teams always arrive in the city of the game one week in advance, but this season's participants are not allowed to arrive in Tampa, Florida, any earlier than the Friday before Super Bowl LV, league sources told ESPN. If the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers win their conference championship games Sunday, they have tentative plans to arrive in Tampa on Friday, Feb. 5, two days before the Super Bowl, according to sources. If the Kansas City Chiefs advance to the Super Bowl, they do not plan to arrive in Tampa until the day before the Super Bowl, according to sources. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 This is good. Treat it like any other away game. Keep your usual routine and not worry about SB appearances and parties your players need to attend. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyal2dagame Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 So if the bucs beat the packers, Brady gets a huge advantage against his opponent. Sounds about right... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I was actually kind of surprised that they are waiting two weeks to play the Super Bowl. I know 2 weeks is the tradition, but they have ignored that in other years. I think the longer there is between the championship games and the Super Bowl, the greater the chance that COVID becomes a factor.

HOUSE Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Good, if Tampa wins let the entire team stay in Cleveland for the next 12 days 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills6969 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I’m surprised by this. Wouldn’t they want the teams to arrive early and quarantine together in the hotel. Obviously all the traditional super bowl events would be cancelled but at least everyone would be quarantine in a hotel. 2 weeks is a long time to trust the players to be by themselves and not contract COVID.

I have zero issue with keeping it this was. As for Brady. He’ll be in the seats as a spectator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITE ME Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 This is great. No distractions. They partying in Tampa in 1991 did not help the Bills. Amazing players were out partying just a couple days before the Super Bowl. Guess that was a different time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If Tampa gets in they have 2 weeks at home before the game & the Bills have 2 days to settle in, yet some people want to play Tampa. I want GB, not the team with home field advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right... That's the first thing I thought. The league did this because they think TB will be in the Super Bowl and they want to give an advantage to him. They already wrote the 30 for 30, and all the hype of tom teriffic sailing off into the sunset with rings from multiple teams. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. But long story short.... Who cares. It's been a fight to get here, and the fight's not over yet! 2 more games to glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
