World Series Game 3: Rays Host Brewers at Tropicana Field
A sellout crowd of more than 40,000 will greet the Rays as they return home trailing 2-0 and needing four wins for their first title.
- 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 after two one-run losses to the Milwaukee Brewers, who lead 2-0.
- 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 temporary home Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.
- The stadium's distinctive features include quirky catwalks and a 10,000-gallon "Cownose Clubhouse" stingray tank. Rays manager Kevin Cash said fans will be "really loud and excited to see us come back and kind of reset ourselves."
- Second baseman Richie Palacios expressed confidence Sunday, saying "it's going to be exciting to go out there and put on a show for our fans and hopefully bring them a couple more wins."
- Ownership secured county approval in August for a $2.3 billion project in Tampa, with the new stadium—their "forever home"—scheduled to open in 2029 within a mixed-use entertainment district.
