ORLANDO, Fla. – Celebrations inside and outside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa following the Buccaneers win in Sunday’s Super Bowl 55 saw thousands of people cheering on the home team’s win, many without masks.

Those in attendance were required to wear face coverings throughout the game unless they were eating or drinking. Ushers holding signs enforced the rules that, by now, should be standard operating procedure.

Fans disregarded social distancing guidelines and crowded into the lower rows of bleachers to get a better view of the celebration following the Buc’s win.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor issued an executive order last month requiring masks to be worn outside in the city’s most popular entertainment areas during Super Bowl festivities and for a few days following the event. No tailgating was allowed, either. It was all part of an effort to curb the potential spread of COVID-19 at the event, which health care experts feared could become a super spreader event.

That did little to dissuade thousands from gathering around the stadium.

The pandemic is forcing changes to a post-Super Bowl tradition at Walt Disney World. The theme park will not host its traditional Super Bowl parade down Main Street U.S.A.

Despite that, Tampa Bay tight end Rob Gronkowski will visit Disney World to “experience some of Disney’s most popular attractions,” according to the Disney Parks Blog.

Gronkowski and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady, the Buc’s quarterback, both appeared in Disney’s iconic “I’m going to Disney World!” commercial, changing it to “We’re going to Disney World!” Brady is set visit the park later this year.
