Where are the dugouts? That's pretty original that the players sit with the fans.

I visited a few games while in Tampa on business. Though the ballpark is not for pictures, I go to baseball for the game itself. If you want to pay for a view of water, go to a lake....it is free! And I was dying from the heat exhaustion walks from the car to the ballpark. And once I was inside, I didn't care how the place looked. It felt so good in that A/C. So remember this..if they want to draw visitors, the visitors will consider the no A/C a factor. ESPN in a hotel is usually free.

I was recently on vacation in FL, so I went to the Rays opening day game. Tropicana is a hole. It doesnt even feel like a baseball game is supossed to. Terrible parking, and it looked all hazy on the field, like a fog lingering in the dome. However, the fans were great and the game was fun.

It does not appear this new stadium will be built, though.

Rays haven't done anything for St Pete and they have ruined the Thunderdome. Progress in downtown is due to the city dressing up the Central Ave area in anticipation of a baseball benefit. The baseball benefit never happened. More proof that kissing rich people's asses doesn't make you money, it just gets shit on your face. Downtown St Pete makes more peripheral money off any decent rock concert than it does a baseball game, because music fans don't race to their cars and back to Pinellas Park.
