In two previous courtrooms, a state judge and a federal judge focused on whether pat-down searches of ticket holders at Raymond James Stadium were a violation of the state and U.S. constitutions. In both cases, the judges issued injunctions that now ban the physical searches at Bucs games. The Tampa Sports Authority, with funding from the National Football League, took the case to a federal appeals court. In Miami on Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals focused on whether the Tampa Sports Authority, the government body that runs the stadium, had a contractual right to refuse ticket holders entrance to the stadium if they declined to be searched.”
