About
South Florida Bulls at Raymond James Stadium
In less than a quarter of a century, the University of South Florida has built a team from the ground up that can compete among the best in the nation. The USF Bulls play out of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, which opened in 1998 and currently seats 65,618. Even though the Tampa Bay region is centrally located on the Florida peninsula, the University of South Florida was the southernmost school in the Florida state university system upon its founding in 1956. The Bulls are coached by Jeff Scott, who won two national championships as the co-offensive coordinator at Clemson before joining South Florida after the 2019 season.
History of South Florida Bulls Football
After years of grassroots support among USF students, and spearheaded by the assistant athletic director and Hall of Fame defensive end Lee Roy Selmon, the South Florida Bulls first took the field on September 6, 1997, beating Kentucky Wesleyan 80-3 in its first game at Houlihan's Stadium. USF played four seasons at the NCAA Division 1-AA level before quickly rising up the FBS level, joining the Big East Conference in 2005 after success in Conference USA and as a Division 1-A independent. South Florida's breakout season came in 2007, upsetting No. 17 Auburn and No. 5 West Virginia on their way to a 6-0 start. The Bulls were ranked as high as No. 2 before finishing the season with a 9-4 record and a Sun Bowl appearance.
The USF Bulls are known for the quality of their head coaches throughout their history, including Jim Leavitt, who ran the program from its inception until 2011. The Bulls have also been coached by such notable names as Skip Holtz, Willie Taggart, and Charlie Strong. Many distinguished players have suited up for the Bulls, including Jason Pierre-Paul and Nate Allen. USF's biggest rivalry by far is against in-state conference opponent Central Florida, with the Knights facing the Bulls on a regular basis since UCF joined the Big East during its transition into the American Athletic Conference in 2012.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 3 out of 5 Parking was a problem
by Fishyteach on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaThe stadium needs clearer signs for entrances to the parking lot. One sign pointed to the right for an entrance but when you get there you discover you can only enter from the opposite direction. Once you get in the parking lot there are few, if any, signs pointing to the path you must follow to get through the fences.
Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - Tampa I enjoyed the game and it was appropriate for children to attend. I thought the refreshment prices were very high for a college game.
Rating: 5 out of 5 My son loved it
by smoothjazzlistener on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaMy wife and I took our son to the game. The atmosphere of the college game was a lot of fun for us all. The " Take a Kid to the Game" was a great deal for us. We will definitely go to more USF games.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Horrible
by alexandra6 on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaThere were to many underage drunk college kids. We have been to many college games and have never experienced the rudeness of the underage drinking. Not including my 6 year old son who accidentally ran into someone in the crowd who tried to pick a fight with him because he was so drunk. When we went to get a soda, i was very applaud at the language that my children had to endure. We will never take them to another USF game again or support the bulls. .

by martsa on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - Tampawhat a great opportunity for our family to afford a night of Bulls football. Our two kids were free, and affordable companion tickets ... we wouldn't have gone otherwise, sad to say. Thank you for Take a Kid to the Game night!

by Jonesen on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaMy little student loved the game. We also bought him a helmet with horns.
Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - Tampa Enjoyed, but wish tickets weren't in nose bleed section. it wasn't close to being a sell out, just feel that they should provide tickets for lower level.
Rating: 5 out of 5 USF Band/Football
by HOTparent on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaThe staff at the Raymond James Stadium was very friendly and helpful. Parking and post game traffic was extremely frustrating, but otherwise a very enjoyable evening for the family. Seating is much more comfortable than the UF stadium!
Rating: 4 out of 5 HOT Band was awesome.
by PayingforClarinetplayer on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaThe actual game was pretty good. The USF students bring a lot of energy into Raymond James stadium. I had a better time at the USF Bulls Game than the Buc's game. Rocky was awesome. Half time / pregame show was great. The energy of the HOT band was off the chart.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Bulls Game!!
by ZippidyDoo on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaWhat a great experience for the kids. They had a blast and it didn't cost a fortune. Now if the Tampa Bay Bucs would do something like this they wouldn't be blacked out every weekend. What a concept!!!

by Allyniki on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaI'm proud alumni. I love going to football games and supporting my Bulls but I'd never taken my four year old son because I didn't know how he'd react. The Take a Kid to the Game night worked out great since he got in free I didn't feel like it'd be a waste if he hated it ,but turns out he had a great time! Thanks!

Rating: 3 out of 5 Why was USF playing a high school?
by Mountaineer1662 on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - TampaGreat deal for the tickets, but what a boring game. USF is so totally above the likes of FAU, it was a joke.
Rating: 4 out of 5by jamba5 on 10/4/10Raymond James Stadium - Tampa WOW what an awesome game. Took my daughter and her friend to the game and they had an awesome time. This game was for the H.O.T. Parent Day and the band and the game could not have been any better. Was worried about making the game due to emergency surgery the week before the game, but the seats were ok. Food prices are definitely getting way too expensive for the amount/quality of the food or drink.
