Check-In

There is no mandatory athlete briefing or set arrival time. Upon arrival, check in at the CrossFit Check-In Tent located outside the stadium gates to receive your swag and credentials for entry.

You must report to your designated event stage check-in no later than the heat before your scheduled heat time.
Example: If you’re in Heat 4, you must check in by the start of Heat 3.

Check-in for both stages will take place at the warm-up area, where our Athlete Control Team will brief you on the WOD details.

Please make sure to review all WODs before event day.

Raymond James Stadium & Bag Policy – Prohibited items

We are at an official NFL stadium, so we are required to follow their rules for safety. That said, we have made an exception for ATHLETES ONLY, to be able to enter with larger BACKPACKS with snacks and drinks. If you would like to bring your own snacks and drinks, please bring a BACKPACK style bag and not a duffle. Bag checks and metal detectors are mandatory at entry in accordance with Raymond James Stadium policy. Please avoid bringing weapons or any other prohibited items that would typically be restricted at events held at this venue. There will be food a drinks available at the stadium and re-entry will be available incase you want to keep any items in your car. All other attendees will be required to follow Raymond James Stadium/No-Bag policy and other parameters noted HERE.

Prohibited items: Tents, tables, chairs, cooler, wagons, weapons, pets (service animals ok).

STROLLERS are allowed in the stadium but must remain in the concourse and not on the steps or field. Thank you!

Athlete Village & Other Areas

There will be plenty of areas to “Set Up Shop,” including a covered corridor and parts of the lower stadium seating. Additionally, all athletes and attendees will have access to the epic cove, pirate ship, and field! Please be mindful of marked walkways that we would like to keep clear for attendee traffic. 

On-Site Food & Beverage Options

A variety of food trucks will be set up just outside the stadium entrance for easy access all day long. Inside the stadium, head to the Pirate Ship Deck for all your refreshment needs — grab-and-go snacks, bottled water, Gatorade, energy drinks, water fountains, and adult beverages are all available there. 🏴‍☠️

Please Be Respectful

We ask that all athletes and attendees be respectful of stadium and event rules, regulations, staff, and other operational requirements. Hosting an event at Raymond James Stadium is a rare opportunity, and we would love to make it a permanent home for WOD Wars. That said, we need your support and cooperation. We also ask that you keep the stadium beautiful! Clean up any trash, belongings, etc. Let’s show them what we are all about and leave it the way we found it so they welcome us back for years to come! We appreciate you!
