Four times: Super Bowl XVIII (Raiders beat Redskins), Super Bowl XXV (Giants beat Bills) Super Bowl XXXV (Ravens beat Giants), Super Bowl XLIII (Steelers beat Cardinals). The first two of those were at the former Tampa Stadium - affectionately referred to as the "Big Sombrero." The third and fourth Super Bowl games were at RayJay.
We've posted a story about this above but will link it here also. The Tampa Riverwalk and Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park are transforming to host events. Check out photos and more details here.
