Stadium 7 - Tropicana Field (Tampa Bay)


So game 7 was the Rays vs. the A's, with a Tampa victory over Oakland.
This baseball park cannot even fit into baseball park status, in my opinion. I distinctly felt as if I were at a circus, observing something vaguely uninteresting while the rest of the audience was having a blast. A clear outsider, I did not have a horn or a cowbell to obnoxiously ring every other minute in the planetarium-like dome that is Tropicana Field. The fake grass was badly worn, but the groundskeepers did a nice job at pretending we were watching a real baseball game. The only redeeming feature of this stadium was the air conditioning to keep the oppressive heat & starving mosquitoes at bay. I can only hope the other indoor parks offer something better than St. Pete & the very few Rays fans.





Ray tank!


the RV park was beautiful, but dangerously full of mosquitoes!
