    No matter what others say about the Trop it's a darn fine place to watch a game. The staff has always been great and prices are decent for a MLB ballpark

    As ball parks go pretty standard. Take time to the touch tank and find the craft beers. 2 seam blonde from cycle is only available here and is well priced.

    Peer out to right field. In a sea of teal, you’ll see a lone yellow seat in section 144. That’s where Wade Boggs’ 3,000th hit (a home run) landed back on August 7, 1999.

    It's not the greatest MLB ballpark, but if you live in the Tampa Bay region, come out to the Trop and support the Rays. They're one of the best teams in baseball and they need more fans.

    Disappointing selection of beers. Even "craft beers" are big brewer selections. Why not offer some local brewers beers. Cigar City is right in Tampa & plenty of other FL brewers.
