The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2011 season doesn't officially begin until Sunday, September 11 when they face off against the Detroit Lions at Raymond Jame Stadium, but that's not stopping Jannus Live from doing it big and pumping us for Sunday with a Tampa Bay Bucs Kickoff Party on Friday, September 9.

This FREE event will feature appearances by Tampa Bay Bucs players and cheerleaders, a sure-to-be awesome set from mashup pioneer and famed international artist, DJ Z-Trip and a headlining set from Florida alt-rock outfit, Nonpoint.

Channel 10 News will be doing a show, Live from Jannus, with player and crowd interviews to capture the spirit of the 2011 Tampa Bay Bucs Kickoff Party.

No tickets are needed, but this will get packed, quick.  If you were there last year, you probably know.  Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with festivities kicking off at 7:30 p.m.  Come out and support your Tampa Bay Buccaneers with this free party at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg.
