Metro Development Group Teams Up with Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Give Home Shoppers a VIP Game Day Experience

Fans can enter for a chance to join the Bucs on a private flight to New Orleans for the team’s January matchup against the Saints

TAMPA BAY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--What if touring a new home could land you on a private flight with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team?

Metro Development Group and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are teaming up again this football season for the Tour & Score Sweepstakes, giving fans who tour participating model homes a chance to win a VIP trip with the team to its January 10, 2027, game against the New Orleans Saints.

The winner and a guest will fly with the Buccaneers to New Orleans, receive a police escort to the stadium and attend the game with upper-level tickets. After the game, they’ll board a private flight back to Tampa Bay with the team.

The VIP Game Day Getaway winner will be announced December 20.

"We partner with award-winning national builders because we know what happens once someone walks through one of their beautiful model homes — they can already see themselves living there," said Lisa Gibbings, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Metro Development Group. "So we wanted to reward the homebuyer for taking the first step. Through our partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a model home tour now comes with the chance at a pretty unforgettable game day experience."

To enter, visitors simply need to tour builder model homes at participating Metro Development Group communities:

• Angeline in Land O’ Lakes
  • A 6,200-acre master-planned community in Pasco County, Angeline is home to Tampa Bay’s first residential farm, two schools and Moffitt Cancer Center’s future 775-acre medical city, Speros. Visitors can also stop by Wild Thyme Café, located next to the farm, for coffee, wine and light bites.
• Curiosity Creek in Palmetto
  • A master-planned community where nature and technology come together, Curiosity Creek is planned for approximately 1,800 homes from award-winning builders. Residents will have access to miles of trails, solar-powered smart streetlights, ULTRAFi high-speed internet and energy-efficient, smart-home features, along with a future resort-style pool and nearby county park.
• Seaire in Parrish
  • Seaire offers a mix of new homes, trails and resort-style amenities in one of Manatee County’s fastest-growing areas. Its 4-acre lagoon is now open to residents, giving new homeowners access to the amenity when they purchase a home. The community also offers easy access to Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa.
• Sandal Key in Weeki Wachee
  • Now selling as Hernando County’s first lagoon community, Sandal Key is set on 872 acres along Florida’s Nature Coast. The community’s future lagoon will feature Metro Development Group’s first lazy river, adding another resort-style amenity to the community’s mix of homes and natural surroundings.

Visitors receive one entry for every model home they tour at each participating community, so those who check out multiple models have more chances to win.

The VIP trip isn’t the only prize up for grabs. Three additional winners will take home MetroLagoons gift cards at the end of the sweepstakes:

• 1st place: $2,000 MetroLagoons gift card
• 2nd place: $1,000 MetroLagoons gift card
• 3rd place: $500 MetroLagoons gift card

The three winners will be announced February 16, 2027.

The Tour & Score Sweepstakes runs through February 15, 2027. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Participants must be at least 21 years old, Florida residents and licensed and insured drivers.
