Check-In

The Main Entrance in and out of the stadium will be the Ford Gate (See map). Before entering the stadium gates, all athletes must be checked in by their specific sport. Some sports may offer early check-in off-site or have a designated tent outside the main entrance. You’ll need to complete check-in and receive your athlete’s credential to access the venue. See the map below for entry point and sport locations.

If you’re unsure about when, where, or how to check in, please reach out directly to your sports promoter:

Warm-Up

Each sport will have its own designated warm-up area located within its event space. To access the field, head up the ramp to the second level entry — you’ll enter through the Pirate Ship Deck to reach your competition zone. 🏴‍☠️

Athlete Village & Other Areas

There will be plenty of areas to “Set Up Shop,” including the climate-controlled Hyundai Club and parts of the lower stadium seating. The Hyundai Club will feature plenty of tables and chairs, select vendors, a snack bar, and convenient restroom access for you to relax and recharge. Additionally, all athletes and attendees will have access to the epic cove, pirate ship, and field! Please be mindful of marked walkways that we would like to keep clear for attendee traffic. 

On-Site Food & Beverage Options

This year, all food and beverage options will be located inside the stadium, primarily on the Pirate Ship Deck and at additional snack bars throughout the venue.

You’ll find both healthy and comfort food options, along with water, energy drinks, and adult beverages. Plus, newly installed filtered water fountains are now available throughout the stadium for easy refills. 🏴‍☠️

Please Be Respectful

We ask that all athletes and attendees be respectful of stadium and event rules, regulations, staff, and other operational requirements. Hosting an event at Raymond James Stadium is a rare opportunity, and we would love to make it a permanent home for FitFest. That said, we need your support and cooperation. We also ask that you keep the stadium beautiful! Clean up any trash, belongings, etc. Let’s show them what we are all about and leave it the way we found it so they welcome us back for years to come! We appreciate you!
