Get ready, Tampa Bay Bucs fans.  The 2012 Buccaneers Fan Fest is returning on Saturday, August 4, but will be a little different than years past.

This year, the annual fan festival will be combined with the annual, Bucs night practice at Raymond James Stadium to make for one huge evening event perfect for Tampa Bay football fans both young and old. This free event will host a FanFest-like autograph session featuring the whole team that kicks off at Raymond James Stadium when gates open at 4 p.m.

As opposed to years past, there will be no need for vouchers to line up and get autographs, but we do suggest you get there as early as possible if you're really set on getting them.

The Buccaneers night practice will kick off at 6:30 and last about two-and-a-half hours with a live scrimmage, drills, and more.  Can't make it?  Bright House Networks will also broadcast the night practice live.

In addition to all this, there will be free parking, $1 hot dogs and soft drinks, and an awesome fireworks display over Raymond James Celebration to cap the night off.

If you're a Bucs football fan looking for something to do this Saturday, the Bucs Fan Fest and Night Practice will definitely be a worthwhile choice.
