Heading to Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, hoping to find vegan options? We have confirmed that The Healthy Spot Concession is still available for the 2025 season.
We can all thank the Raymond James season ticket holders who spoke up prior to the 2022 season wanting healthier vegan options available for events and Tampa Bay Buccaneers football games, for this concession.
In addition, we share the stadium’s bag policy (read that!) along with if you can bring in food or drinks to a game or event.
Lastly, we have listed a couple of vegan-friendly restaurants somewhat close to the stadium should you want to eat out before or after the game.

Can I Bring Food Into Raymond James Stadium?
Thinking about bringing your own food into the stadium for the game? Here are some policies at Raymond James Stadium that you’ll want to be aware of. These were pulled directly from the Bucs A to Z Guide.

Please return all other bags to your vehicles or take advantage of the storage lockers available for rent on Tom McEwen Blvd, south of Gate Suzuki Marine. Bags larger than 4.5” by 6.5”, regardless if they are clear, will not be permitted into the stadium.

Vegan Options Near Raymond James Stadium
We took a look around the stadium to find some vegan-friendly restaurants that would be a good spot to get a bite to eat before or after the game. This is something we always do when we go to games and we thought we’d share what we found with you guys.
This is by no means a complete list, just a couple of spots that caught our attention.
Panera Bread
3420 W. Dr. MLK Jr. Blvd, Tampa, FL 33607
Yes, we are fully aware that Panera Bread is not a local vegan restaurant. However, what makes this location worth checking out is it’s location. It’s about two blocks from the stadium.
In fact, depending on where you’re parked you may be closer to this Panera Bread than the stadium.
So, if you’re looking for some good vegan options before a noon kickoff (coffee and a bagel anyone?), or while you wait for traffic to clear out – this Panera Bread could be a great choice.

Florish
2307 S Dale Mabry Hwy Suite A, Tampa, FL 33629
About 4.5 miles (10’ish minutes) from the arena is a 100% vegan restaurant with signature pizzas, beautiful bowls and sides like loaded potato wedges, chicken & roasted veggies. Then to round out the menu, Florish offers a couple of cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth.
