Tampa Bay Lightning did that. Now it’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ turn.
To celebrate their 31-9 victory at the Super Bowl LV, the Bucs took to the water for a victory parade that is more conducive to social detachment amid the coronavirus pandemic. The lightning did the same thing to celebrate the Stanley Cup victory in September.
The Bucs’ boat parade runs on the Hillsborough River, which runs along the downtown waterfront. Fans can watch the parade at various points along the river, wearing masks. Check out these highlights.

The social distance extends to water courses
While sailors can help celebrate the #SBLV champion @Buccaneers during the parade, they must be 50 feet from the official flotilla ships. Sailors can follow the parade route, but must maintain this distance of 15 meters.
