[edit] Tampa Bay
Joel Glazer is a Executive Vice President of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Glazer has also led the search to reshape the Buccaneers football front office by hiring Bruce Allen, a veteran of four decades in both professional and collegiate football, as the third general manager in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history on January 9, 2004. Allen, the 2002 NFL Executive of the Year, was reunited with Bucs head coach Jon Gruden after spending the previous nine seasons (1995-2003) with the Oakland Raiders, helping guide the Raiders to three AFC West championships, two appearances in the AFC Championship Game and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVII.
Next up for Glazer: helping lead the design for the future cornerstone of the franchise, a new, 145,000 square-foot state-of-the-art training facility, promising a “world-class facility” that will be the finest in the National Football League. The spectacular and innovative facility, which will open this fall, will be built on the former Tampa Bay Center mall site across the street from Raymond James Stadium. The signature of the new facility will be its breathtaking entrance, which features the world’s largest football towering nearly five stories tall. Since the team’s inception in 1976, Tampa Bay has been based for the last 30 seasons at One Buccaneer Place, a training facility located near the Tampa International Airport.
On the 30th of June he and his brothers Avi and Bryan were barricaded inside Old Trafford due to protestors surrounding the stadium. A police van had to be called so the Glazers could escape.
