Suzuki Marine USA announced it is now a Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pewter Partner, the team’s highest partnership honor. Suzuki Marine first became The Official Outboard Motor of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last summer, and recently signed a multi-year agreement that will include a range of new promotional, outreach, and engagement opportunities with the team’s diverse fan base and NLF fans from around the world.

Key among these will be the new Suzuki Marine Gate (formerly Gate C) at Raymond James Stadium. This new entry way was made official with a ribbon cutting ceremony before the Bucs 2023 home opener on Sunday, September 17. The ceremony was attended by Buccaneers and Suzuki Marine leadership, including new Suzuki Marine Executive Vice President Daiki Sugiura and Suzuki Marine Executive Vice President Sales & Service George “Gus” Blakely.

As one of the four main entrance and exit points for this 75,000-seat stadium, the Suzuki Marine Gate is adjacent to Bucs Beach — the team’s premier pregame party and fan activation area. Suzuki Marine branding will be visible to those driving on North Himes Avenue and Tampa Bay Boulevard and Suzuki Marine images and messaging will be throughout the property.

“We are very excited to welcome Suzuki Marine USA as our newest Pewter Partner,” said Buccaneers Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford. “The Suzuki Marine Gate will blend perfectly with the lively Florida-themed atmosphere we have created at Bucs Beach, which has become a signature part of the gameday experience for fans at Raymond James Stadium.”
