Tampa Stadium (officially known as Houlihan's Stadium from 1996 to 1999, and nicknamed "The Big Sombrero" due to its shape) was a sports venue located at 4201 North Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa, Florida, USA. The stadium is most closely associated with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers National Football League franchise, which played all of their home games in the stadium from 1976 through 1997. It was demolished in 1999 following the construction of Raymond James Stadium, which is sometimes referred to as "The New Sombrero" in memory of its predecessor in spite of its unsombrero-like design
