At the Game

Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg is one of the most distinctive stadiums in baseball. It opened in 1990 as the first domed stadium in the Southeast and has been home to the Tampa Bay Rays since 1998. It holds just over 42,700 fans under a fixed dome with a notorious catwalks system that has produced some of the game's more unusual plays over the years. The Rays have consistently fielded competitive teams in a stadium that owners and some fans have long hoped to replace.

Tropicana Field sits in downtown St. Petersburg — across the bay from Tampa, about 25 miles from the airport — in a large surface parking area. Getting there from Tampa typically means crossing one of the bay bridges. St. Pete's downtown has grown into one of the more vibrant small cities in Florida, with a strong restaurant and bar scene along Central Avenue that makes pregame enjoyable. Plans for a new ballpark in St. Pete are progressing, but for now, the Trop remains the venue.
