Can U2 change the Bucs’ luck?


The massive U2 concert at Raymond James Stadium on Friday night may benefit the struggling Bucs as they try to snap an eight-game losing streak.

The stage and sets for the event are so huge that they tend to damage most of the turf they are built on, so part of the production often includes re-sodding the field after a stadium show.

Jake Berry, longtime production director for U2, says the crew adds another touch: the luck of the Irish.

“I don’t know if the band is aware of your sad record with your football team here so the team would like us to come here because unfortunately, with our production being on the grounds for so for long, we have a tendency to ruin grass so it has to be resodded,” Berry told News Channel 8 reporter Samara Sodos. “If they resod, I hope it will give the Bucs some more luck and you can win the next eight.”

“If we change it, we turn around the pitch so it will go the other way and we’ll bring you more luck. A lot of Irish luck.”
