The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced plans to evacuate Tampa on Tuesday morning in anticipation of Hurricane Milton's expected landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast. The team will be relocating operations to New Orleans for the remainder of the week as they prepare for their upcoming divisional game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has advised residents in the Tampa Bay Area to begin preparations for potential evacuation orders due to the impending threat of Hurricane Milton. The storm is projected to reach the Gulf Coast of Florida as early as Wednesday night.
The Buccaneers' decision to move their operations to New Orleans aligns with safety measures and ensures that the team can continue their preparations for the upcoming game against the Saints. Media availabilities will still be conducted despite the relocation.
