U.S. forecasters issued a tropical storm warning for coastal
North Carolina on Monday, while another system churning in the
Gulf of Mexico could make landfall in Florida later this week.
"We have been in regular communication with administrators and
the National Weather Service over the past day as it has become
apparent that the most severe weather associated with Tropical
Depression Nine will likely make landfall on Thursday,” said
Buccaneers Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford.
“This decision was made by both teams in conjunction with the
National Football League and local authorities in an effort to
ensure the safety of our fans, players and stadium staff.” The
