TAMPA — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers scored a key victory Tuesday to give Raymond James Stadium an expensive and expansive upgrade. But it wasn't a shutout.

The Tampa Sports Authority board voted 10-1 to approve an agreement with the Bucs to spend $29 million in taxpayer money as a part of an $87 million renovation of the 18-year-old, taxpayer-financed stadium.

The lone no vote was the first opposition to emerge against the deal, but it came from an influential voice: TSA board chairman Andrew Scaglione.

The Hillsborough County Commission and Tampa City Council will vote on the pact today and Thursday, respectively, though it remains to be seen if Scaglione's dissent snowballs into more opposition against the deal.

The vast majority of the TSA board, however, said the agreement, reached earlier this month, represents a major improvement over the status quo with the Buccaneers.

Under the terms of the 1996 lease agreement with the team, the TSA, a publicly supported agency, was already on the hook for $26 million in maintenance and repairs. The board agreed to increase its piece by another $3 million to help build bigger, state-of-the-art scoreboards. The Bucs said the stadium will have the third-largest combined square footage of video scoreboards in the NFL after the renovations.

The TSA will pay for the renovations using tourist tax dollars collected on hotel room stays, not general fund dollars collected from property taxes.

In exchange for the additional TSA monies, the Buccaneers agreed to increase the TSA's share of revenue from non-Bucs events held at the stadium, like concerts. That could net the county an additional $250,000 a year, though it's more likely to be closer to $150,000 if the recent revenue trend from those events continues.

The team also forgave Hills­borough County's obligation to spend $12 million to build a practice facility for the Bucs. Hillsborough officials said that's an important victory that ends a two-decade dispute between the team and the county.

Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan, who also sits on the sports authority board, said the existing lease was a "sweetheart" deal for the Bucs and the team's owner, the Glazer family.

And, Hagan added: "With this agreement we're going to dramatically improve the fan experience and make the current agreement much better."

Perhaps most importantly, said board member Don DeFosset, the Bucs have agreed to put $58 million of their own money into the renovation project, and could potentially chip in another $13 million when all is said and done. While the TSA was obligated to spend at least $26 million on upgrades, the Bucs were not required to contribute anything.

"Having the Bucs put some skin in the game is extremely important strategically to make sure the Buccaneers remain steadfastly committed to Tampa," said DeFosset, who was board chairman when the negotiations started at the beginning of the year.

But the current chairman, Scaglione, said the TSA caved by giving the Bucs $3 million more than required by the contract to renovate the stadium. Scaglione, who was quiet during the debate but spoke to reporters afterward, questioned why the NFL franchise — estimated by Forbes magazine to be worth about $1.5 billion — needs more taxpayer money.

"It's one of those deals when you try to put lipstick on a pig and sell it as a princess to the taxpayers," Scaglione said. "Anything our agreement calls for we should honor whether it's a bad deal, good deal. But I'm just against giving any additional (funds).

He added: "I think we left money on the table."

Scaglione's concerns echoed those from Americans For Prosperity, a conservative anti-tax group that has mobilized against the agreement.

Proponents hope the renovations will help Raymond James attract marquee events, like future Super Bowls. Tampa is already a finalist to host the big game in 2019 and 2020.

Feld Entertainment vice president Bill Powell, whose company brings "Monster Jam" truck racing to Ray Jay twice a year, told board members his company will consider bringing more events to the stadium after the renovation.

"We play the majority of NFL stadiums throughout this country so we've been through various renovation proposals," Powell said. "This is one of the most thoughtful ones we've seen."

The renovations will take place in two phases. The team will complete scoreboard and video display improvements and upgrades to the sound system, concessions and luxury suites before the 2016 season. That means they'll be done when Raymond James hosts the 2017 NCAA National Championship game.

The remainder of the renovations, including changes to the concourse and team store, will be completed by the start of the 2017 NFL season that fall.
