Tropicana Field Seating Chart
Tropicana Field is the domed home of the Tampa Bay Rays at 1 Tropicana Drive in St. Petersburg, Florida. It opened on March 3, 1990, as the Florida Suncoast Dome and took the Tropicana name in 1996. Hurricane Milton tore its roof in October 2024, so the Rays played 2025 at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. The roof was replaced and the stadium rebuilt at a cost AP put at nearly $60 million, and the Rays returned on April 6, 2026.

The fixed roof tilts at 6.5 degrees, from 225 feet above second base down to 85 feet at the center-field wall. A fair ball that hits catwalk C or D is a home run, while one that hits A or B stays in play. The Cownose Clubhouse, a 10,000-gallon stingray tank, sits just beyond the right-center field fence.
