He said the stadium reminded him about his old college stadium with the South Carolina Gamecocks. Sanders also compared it to Folsom Field at Colorado and noted that the sideline walls to the fans is a lot further than where it was at Colorado.

“This stadium is nice. It reminds me of South Carolina’s stadium,” Sanders said. “At Colorado we had our sidelines, like the wall to the sidelines, was right next to out of bounds. It was like five yards in between that so here it’s more spread out so that’s better.”

Raymond James Stadium was opened in 1998. Since then, it has been home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and South Florida Bulls. It is also host to the ReliaQuest Bowl and the Gasparilla Bowl. It has most famously been the site of three different Super Bowls in 2000, 2008, and 2020.
