Quirky Tropicana Field isn’t a pretty ballpark but the Rays love their home - myMotherLode
With its unappealing concrete exterior, massive, sloping dome and cavernous indoor atmosphere, Tropicana Field possesses little of the aesthetic beauty and charm associated with baseball’s most celebrated stadiums. But the Tampa Bay Rays love their quirky ballpark, especially after being forced out for a season because of destruction from Hurricane Milton. A sellout crowd of The Tampa Bay Rays are returning to Tropicana Field for Game 3 of the World Series, where they were forced to leave for a season due to Hurricane Milton. The stadium was damaged by the storm in 2024 and nearly $60 million was spent to replace the roof and rebuild it. The Rays returned this season, playing their home games at Steinbrenner Field. The team was sold to a group led by real-estate developer Patrick Zalupski and plans to build a 31,000-seat stadium in Tampa near the home of the NFL's Buccaneers. The new stadium is scheduled to open in 2029. Despite criticism from fans for not showing up in the postseason, the team remains optimistic about winning the World Championship.
