MLB Tampa Bay Rays – American League
The Tampa Bay Rays are a Major League club competing in Major League Baseball (MLB) as part of the American League East. This page features photos and a map of Tropicana Field, links to official team resources, and weather information for St. Petersburg.
The Rays play regular-season home games at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. Opened in 1998, the stadium has served as the club’s home since their inaugural season and remains Major League Baseball’s only fixed-dome venue — a surviving example of the multi-purpose stadium era with its distinctive sloped roof. Located in downtown St. Petersburg, just blocks from the waterfront and about 10 miles from St. Pete Beach, the ballpark serves fans across the Tampa Bay region.
On October 9, 2024, winds exceeding 100 mph damaged the roof’s membrane, causing extensive interior water damage. The Rays played the 2025 season at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa while repairs were underway. The renovated stadium reopened for the 2026 season, with the home opener scheduled for April 6.
For Spring Training, the Tampa Bay Rays use Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte, Florida. It is about 80 miles south of Tropicana Field.
