    Is Tropicana field the most depressing park in baseball?

    I'm watching the game and it's just a morgue.:

    But try and create some noise in the place over the loudspeakers.

    It's like a bar with no music playing in it.

    Live in Florida. Used to live in Chicago. Once you have a family, Florida > Chicago and it's not even close. Chicago was phenomenal when single and hitting bars but we sold our house in Chicago, bought one 25 years newer, with pool, on water, worth $100k more than our Chicago house and monthly is same because we are saving over $8k a year in property taxes.

    9 months of the year the weather is perfect. I watch football games from the pool or my outdoor kitchen. I've lived Colorado, Florida, and Illinois and this is my fav place by far. To each their own.

    That said - trop is a shithole. Doesn't feel like you are watching baseball.

    yeah and a waste of $119.88 a year watching scripted wrestling. NFL has woman fans that are pretty hot but wrestling women fans look like mama june from here comes honey boo tv show. Let me guess your from Alabama. The WWE also endorses child pedophilia aka as wrestlings grapple gate. When the the WWE aka was known as the wwf was having ring boys setting up and taking down the the wrestling rings and doing sexual favors for Pat Patterson.

    Maybe but Florida state football seems like its probably the biggest team to stand out from the rest of the team sports. Plus Florida has MLB spring training teams you can even see the NY Yankees here as well as the daytona 500 and plenty of college football bowl games. The NFL has hosted a lot of superbowls in Florida. Alot of people come from other places to see sports there.

    Three years ago the city of St. Petersburg gave the Tampa Bay Rays a three-year window in which to negotiate with municipalities other than St. Petersburg for a new ballpark. If the window closes with no agreement the Rays are stuck in Tropicana Field for their full lease, which runs through 2027.

    Earlier this year the Rays announced a tentative agreement for a new stadium across the bay in Ybor City in Tampa. The “tentative” part is that there was no funding in place for the ballpark and, of course, the Rays don’t really feel like paying all that much of the cost for their own facility.

    As Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports today, that three-year window is almost up, ending on December 31. Which means the pressure is on:

    But the team and elected leaders have yet to publicly reveal how the community would help pay almost $900 million to move the team to a new ballpark in Ybor City.

    With elections now out of the way, negotiations between the team and city and county officials on a ballpark financing plan are expected to kick into high gear. That included meetings last week between recently re-elected Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan and Irwin Raij, the county’s outside counsel on stadium issues.

    Seating capacity at Tropicana Field will be reduced to about 25,000 to 26,000 under a renovation plan aimed at improving fans' experience.

    The team on Friday announced plans to create a more "intimate" atmosphere, including the creation of the Left Field Ledge in the lower level featuring premium seating for small groups, and the elimination of the upper-deck 300 level.
