TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their fans will be celebrating their historic Super Bowl win the best way the Bay Area knows how on the water.
A socially-distant boat parade will take place Wednesday, February 10 much like how the Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated their championship win last year but this time, instead of the risk of the Stanley Cup falling into the Hillsborough River, the team will have the Lombardi Trophy in their possession.
A deteriorating weather forecast prompted the city to move the plans up from Friday.
