Houlihan's Stadium in Tampa opened in 1967, and saw a number of major sporting teams and events grace its fields over the years. The stadium is most closely associated with the Tampa Bay Bucaneers, who played their NFL games there from 1976 until 1998, when they moved to Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay Mutiny, former members of the Major League Soccer organisation, also competed at this location until they were disbanded in 2001, following MLS reorganisation.

The stadium's capacity is 74,301, although it rarely reaches full capacity in its current occupation as host for high school games, exhibition matches for various sports, festivals and concerts.
