After an eventful offseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fans finally got to see the team return to the field on Saturday night.
Unfortunately the preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans got off to an ugly start, through no fault of the players in the game. Bad weather rolled through the Tampa area and dumped rain on both the city and the stadium sitting above it, which caused an issue that not many were probably thinking about.
The Bucs just installed new grass at Raymond James Stadium, and the mix of bad weather and a fresh playing surface turned out to be a gnarly one.
