What it's known for
Tropicana Field is the last fully domed stadium in Major League Baseball. Its catwalks hang over the field and are part of the ground rules, so balls that hit them can be in play, foul or home runs depending on where they hit.
Hurricane Milton shredded the roof fabric in October 2024, and the Rays played the 2025 season at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. The Trop was repaired, and the team returned for 2026. The Rays are looking for a permanent new ballpark, so the Trop may not be around forever.
Getting there
Tropicana Field is in St. Petersburg, across the bay from Tampa. Most fans drive; there’s parking around the stadium. Allow extra time if you’re coming from Tampa, because bridge traffic can be slow.
Tips for your visit
- If you’re ‘collecting’ parks, see the Trop while you can; a new ballpark is in the works.
- It’s indoors and air-conditioned, which makes it a good summer stop in Florida.
- Pair it with loanDepot park in Miami for a Florida trip.
