Tampa Bay Rays – MLB
The Tampa Bay Rays are one of Florida’s two Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. They compete in the American League East and represent the Tampa Bay region in professional baseball. The Rays play regular-season home games at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. Explore ballpark photos, view the map, access official team links, and check St. Petersburg weather.
Tropicana Field, known to fans as the Trop, is MLB’s only fixed-dome stadium. The Rays have played at Tropicana Field since 1998, their inaugural season. Fully enclosed and climate-controlled, the stadium provides a consistent playing environment during Florida’s hot and rainy weather. Its distinctive catwalk structures can affect high fly balls, making the roof a recognizable feature of the ballpark. The stadium also features a synthetic turf playing surface and a compact seating bowl.
Tropicana Field sits about one mile from the waterfront and about 10 miles from St. Pete Beach. The Rays returned to the stadium for the 2026 season after temporarily playing at George M. Steinbrenner Field in 2025. Their current agreement to play at Tropicana Field expires after the 2028 season. A new ballpark is planned for Hillsborough College’s Dale Mabry campus in Tampa, near George M. Steinbrenner Field. The approved project targets Opening Day 2029. For Spring Training, the Tampa Bay Rays use Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte, Florida. They play as part of the Grapefruit League.
