Quirky Tropicana Field isn’t a pretty ballpark, but the Rays love their home
With its 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 stad… The Tampa Bay Rays are returning to Tropicana Field for Game 3 of the World Series against the Brewers, where they need to win four of five games to secure their first championship in their 29th season. The team had been forced to leave the stadium for a season due to Hurricane Milton, which destroyed the roof and extensive damage. Nearly $60 million was spent to replace the roof, and rebuild the stadium before the Rays returned this season. They played their 2025 home games at Steinbrenner Field. The Rays were sold to a group led by real estate developer Patrick Zalupski, who led an agreement to build a 31,000-seat ballpark in Tampa near the home of the NFL's Buccaneers. The new stadium is scheduled to open in 2029.
