As Trop Preps for World Series, What's Going on with Rays New Stadium?
A sellout crowd of more than 40,000 will greet the Rays after two one-run losses, with the Brewers leading the series 2-0.
- On Monday night, more than 40,000 towel-waving fans will welcome the Tampa Bay Rays back to Tropicana Field for Game 3 of the World Series, trailing the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 after two one-run losses.
- Following Hurricane Milton's destruction on October 9, 2024, the Rays spent nearly $60 million to repair Tropicana Field's roof before returning 18 1/2 months later from Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.
- The stadium's distinctive features include quirky catwalks and a 10,000-gallon Cownose Clubhouse stingray tank, creating a unique environment where Rays manager Kevin Cash said fans will be "really loud and excited to see us come back."
- Second baseman Richie Palacios expressed excitement about returning, saying "it's going to be exciting to go out there and put on a show," as the Rays must win four of five games to claim their first championship.
- Ownership secured county approval in August for a $2.3 billion Tampa ballpark project, with the new venue—called their "forever home"—scheduled to open in 2029 within a mixed-use entertainment district.
