With that said, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the luckiest team this offseason. When Brady left the Patriots, he left everyone asking where he would be next. When he decided he would be with the Bucs, he already made a huge impact to the team.
A Spike In Ticket Sales
When the news of his move to the Buccaneers became final, fans could not help but express their excitement. Immediately, the sales in the tickets of their games experienced an immediate spike. In fact, fans crowded online that it opened a waiting list for the games of the upcoming season.
With the news of its strengthened fanbase, Greg Auman of The Athletic revealed that Tampa Bay has also decided to raise the rates of their non-club section by 15% for their 2020 campaign.
"It is not a surprise that they decided to increase their rates considering the high cost of bringing a superstar like Brady to play for the team. The cost of the club seats, however, remains the same. The fans who decide to renew their tickets may also do so without the increase," Auman reported.
The fact that the fans are not complaining about the increase only shows how much they embrace the coming of a star like Brady into the team. It looks like he is a welcome addition to their well-loved team.

It created a cloud of doubt that the 42-year old player would be back with the franchise where he started his career in the league. But Brady has got other plans and he made it known to the world that his negotiations with Tampa Bay have come into fruition.
