This whole stadium gives struggling mall vibes.

Once the a's move to Las Vegas, this will take its rightful place as the absolute worst stadium in baseball

The “random Italian street” is supposed to be Ybor City in Tampa. That’s why they have cuban sandwiches and Italian sausages at the concessions in the party deck area.

At least it has comfortable A/C. Been there many times. Its really not bad.

Ok, for the selling other teams merch part. It’s part of a charity auction that is run by the Ted Williams Museum. I used to work for the auction at all the Rays games. All the money goes to charity and the Rays don’t have a say in what merch is put out. Hope this clears the air because this isn’t being sold in the team store or anything.😀

Honestly idc how weird some parts of the stadiums are, I just love baseball and I think any stadium is super cool to be at

This was the first Major League stadium I ever went to when I was 12. Having nothing to compare it to, I thought it was the coolest baseball stadium ever. It still holds a special place in my heart because of that, even though I now know how much it kinda sucks.

As a born and raised Floridian, let me just say on a hot and humid day in Florida, nothing better than walking into the cool AC of the Trop! Nothing I hate worse than sitting in a hot cramped seat trying to enjoy a game while sweating my ass off.

Don’t take for granted that it’s always 72 and clear in there!

Love the Trop! Never agreed with the haters! Love being inside escaping FL heat!

As a rays fan myself, the random italian street you’re seeing is a depiction of ybor city

My high school graduation was held here lol

I remember when the bill pens weren’t on the field. The visiting team pen is now a corporate party area and the Rays’ pen was below the right field seats.

This place was also home to the Lightning hockey team for 2 seasons during the early 90s.

This man forgot the live stingray tank they have as well

The “baseball colored roof/ceiling” is funny as hell! 😂

Fun fact I was on the jumbotron at that specific baseball stadium. I will never forget!

I think this is supposed to be sarcastic but some of the things he pointed out are legit cool. Like the Italian street that’s definitely unique

I’ve been to multiple rays games and this is so true 😂

This video actually makes me want to go and see a game there.

There's an open stadium just south of us in Miami, enjoy the sun and humidity. We love the cool breeze the Tropicana provides us from her monster air conditioning vents.

I went to the first game of Royals-Rays last June (I actually got my hat signed by BWJ). The royals won 6-5, but the amount of foul balls that land in the upper deck is actually insane. I’m actually a Royals fan btw for anybody wondering

I absolutely love the Trop and don’t understand the hate it gets sometimes. 🤷‍♂️ Been to many Rays games (Tampa native) and it would suck if they played anywhere else. I get that it’s smaller in seating capacity than most MLB parks mainly due to tarping the seats off in the upper concourse but it’s the last true domed ballpark left and holds a feeling of nostalgia and a vintage vibe for it. Plus it’s air conditioned and comfortable and you never have to worry about the sun, wind, or rains that constantly affect Florida. It feels like home to me in a odd way and I’m afraid if the Rays played elsewhere it wouldn’t hold the same essence to it.

I’m a huge Tampa Bay rays fan and I love that stadium

I honestly love this park. The roof is great to have as you don't have to worry about weather and you also have AC. I really don't get why people complain so much about it but whatever.

As living in Tampa and being a rays fan I can relate

Not the best stadium but not the worst by far. Really enjoyed my time at this stadium, I’d have to say it was an incredible atmosphere too. Would absolutely go back

This is actually the most useful one of these videos because only about 12 or 13 people have ever been inside Tropicana field

Yup, shes a beaut. Lived 15 minutes away, so this was my first baseball experience. Sure its a little weird, but theres always a reason. Ever since my move, I hope i can see her one last time before the inevitable move. Great video!

it's a way cooler stadium then people often get it credit for, it's too bad my mom moved out of St. Pete a few years ago or I could have enjoyed a Rays game or two while she lived there.

Bullpens on the field is such n og parkball vibe. Love it

This is luxury because I am used to the Oakland Coliseum because they are my home team😢

This is a wonderful series -- thanks for the baseball memories!

I graduated from there a few months ago, let me tell you. Being in the center of that thing is just absolutely enormous

It's kind of like your uncles basement scary yet intriguing at the same time.

I’ve actually been here for my bucket list to go to all the parks. It’s not a good park but I enjoyed my time there

I’m sure this catches all 200 fans off guard

As someone who's going to a Mariners-Rays game soon, this helps to have a clearer view of what this is gonna be. Update: For being the first MLB stadium I visited, it wasn't bad. I liked it and I think the Trop isn't as bad as they say, though it was kinda quiet.

I went to this stadium , it was so quiet.. no lie you could hear the people in the outfield like you was sitting next to them 😅

I've been a Tampa Bay resident for over 30 years. For 25 years of baseball, not one rainout and 72 degrees feels soooooo nice to walk into. Keep your amusement park stadiums, I'll keep my A/C. Cheers!

Do minute Maid Park worst seats you won’t find a bad one

Born & Raised here in St Pete We used to call it the “The Dome” back in the day B4 the Rays even existed

Baseball stadium: ❌ Italian music:✅

I may be in the minority as someone who loves living outside of the city, but I really like the idea of the Rays being just outside of Tampa. I have been to 15 ish stadiums, unfortunatly not the Rays yet, but the Rangers stadium felt nice because it wasn't in a downtown big city area. It allows better traffic before and after games, less taxes, more space, etc etc. Sure the city slickers have to travel, but honestly that weeds out the casuals and bandwagoners more than anything lol

Creepy wall man was my favorite part when going as a kid

I’ve been to Tropicana field as a Yankees fan and the rays played the Yankees. There were so many Yankees fans on the Jumbotrons they put the same rays fans up

I wasn't ready for that creepy Wall man

I hope that the new stadium they got approved fixes all these issues.

Just here to say I enjoyed my visit to Tropicana in May

Attending baseball games in cities with a lot of transplants is honestly a pretty sad experience. I went to opening night for the D-backs in Phoenix and probably 1 out of every 3 people were wearing opposition apparel. Plus everyone started leaving right around the 7th inning.

i love the trop cause it is where a graduated highschool and i love the memories here

At least y’all getting that new stadium built 🔥

The only place where visiting teams have more fans show up. It was very apparent Saturday night against Atlanta.

I went to Tropicana last year while vacationing in Tampa, and it’s not an awful place to see a baseball game. It may look bad on the outside, but it’s you get inside it’s actually nice. The foods good, there’s not a lot of fans so you can pretty much sit wherever you want, and it’s nice to get inside away from the July Florida heat. No, it’s not the greatest stadium, but it’s not as bad as people say.

This that just makes sense at a football stadium 1. Football colored hotdogs

As a Yankee Fan, even I can appreciate how AC in the Trop Kicks.

Don't forget, this was a concert, event venue for many years long before it was a baseball stadium.

That last guy looked like Gary’s mod

Holy shit I didnt know Sam's club had a baseball section now!

In sunny Florida, with a team who’s name means both the animal but also rays of sunlight… they play under a dark roof.

As a rays fan, I like to call this the warehouse! So when we are in the playoffs, every visiting team has to Come into The Warehouse!

The creepy wall man reminded me of a huge moving Wally the green monster statue attached to a wall at my local Jordan's furniture store. Gave me nightmares as a kid

Open air stadium on the west coast of FL means 100+ degree games called every night for rain and lightning. It’s not ideal but it is 72°

I was there when they played Boston red sox

When you live in tampa sometimes the only way you can find Cleveland memorabilia for sale is go to the trop when they are in town to play the rays!

Closed off upper deck and still can’t fill the lower deck 😂 GO PHILS!

You missed the Wade Boggs statue that you can't even go up to anymore after some kid got his head stuck.

Baseball color roof. Holy shit. Never thought of that before. Lmao

As a rays fan I dont mind it at all. The AC stays cold af in there its amazing

The upper deck wasn't closed during the Royal Rumble

I ❤️the trop so much plus can’t wait till are new stadium!!!

❤ The Rays boiiiiii

You forgot the ray tank 😭😭😭😭

Idk why but this stadium just gives me creepy old abandoned water park vibes

atleast it isn't as old as Oakland, RIP A's. A's moving out of the old colloseum 😭

This is a great stadium

All we need is basketball in there and we can call it heaven on earth lol

Is like being in grandpa's basement.

I literally just got to Tampa yesterday for vacation. So weird that this just popped on my feed

I have never been inside this stadium and I lived 1.5 a mile away

The upper deck for home games should now be open, as demand has been high enough for tickets since 2018. Also the "italian street" is more so to help drunk people because thats the party deck and quite a bit of people need the line to give them a clear path. I basically grew up in that stadium, miss going to games.

I left a pine tar handprint on a wall in 2006. It's still there!!!

There was a giant hotel near the field and I stayed there

The one time I went there, I thought it was a crazy place to have a baseball game, and the roof especially was way too low.

That roof is soooo cool

I just went to a Rays game and loved the trop if they had a cleaner roof it would be even better

Should have shown the outside. It looks like a crooked flying saucer. It's frekin cool

"This is where we cover our seats, this is also where we cover our seats, more seats covered over there, and this is where the rest of the AL East has all their World Series titles!"

"Well? BYE!"

Those last 2 make me feel awkward lol…to be fair, I wanna go to Trop one day..huge Sox fan but as much as I can’t stand seeing it on tv, I’m sure I might enjoy it the slightest bit more in person 😂

All I know is that in MLB THE SHOW my favorite parks to play in are Oakland, Tampa Bay and Houston.

I was expecting a Wander Franco joke

If that ceiling was orange & cream color it would look like the ceiling at Madison Square Garden 👍🗽

When I hear this song, I know it’s the 7th inning stretch at Citi field

wall man is actually pretty cool tbh

Forgot to add it’s in Saint Pete and not Tampa so attendance is always a joke even during playoff runs lmao

Also- the tilted roof, lots of sense

Man you forgot the empty body of water that used to hold the stingrays but peta took it down

As a Rays fan, I have to unfortunately agree with this video and the comments. (But we are the best team in baseball sooo…). And have you SEEN our home record?? 😅

I go to many rays games and Tropicana is amazing GO RAYS ( The guy in the wall is awesome )
