Fans Show Out For Buccaneers' Rowdy Boat Parade Along River

The Buccaneers celebrated their Super Bowl LV victory this afternoon with a boat parade, as players started "showing up at the docks near Amature Works on buses" at about 12:15pm ET. Fans had been "lining up on the Hillsborough River hours before." As the parade "passed the Sykes building, thousands of screaming football fans watched as players and their friends cruised by on boats." Bucs coach Bruce Arians rode in a "smaller boat" with GM Jason Licht. At one point, Tom Brady "threw the Lombardi Trophy from his boat about 20 feet across the water to another party boat carrying Bucs receivers and tight ends." After a "boisterous frolic along the river," boats approached the "end of the parade route." Several players were set to "speak at a private event with some members of the media" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 2/10).

Meanwhile, the Bucs and Manos Wine partnered to release “Championship Red,” a California Cabernet-Merlot blend currently on sale at ManosWine.com and at local wine retailers in the Tampa area (Buccaneers).
