Tropicana
Field
Skip Milos
ÊÊ Originally named the Florida Suncoast Dome,
Tropicana Field’s 1.1 million square feet include
unique design features and fan amenities
found nowhere else in the major leagues.
ÊÊ The venue was opened to the public on
March 3, 1990, at a cost of $138 million. It
became the ThunderDome in 1993 with the
arrival of the area’s National Hockey League
expansion franchise, the Tampa Bay Lightning.
It was renamed Tropicana Field on Oct 4, 1996,
in accordance with a naming rights agreement
between the Rays and Bradenton’s Tropicana
Dole Beverages North America.
ÊÊ The current capacity is 34,078 with a portion
of the upper deck tarped.
ÊÊ Over 2006-07, the Rays invested more than
$18 million toward improvements to Tropicana
Field including the creation of the Whitney
Bank Club, major improvements to the interior of the park, the installation of new video
boards and a sound system, and the addition
of the Ted Williams Museum and Hitters Hall of
Fame located in Center Field Street.
ÊÊ Tropicana Field is also the world’s only profes
sional sports facility that features live rays.
The Rays Touch Tank opened in 2006, and is
located just behind the right-center field wall.
MG12_021612.indb 424
Through a unique partnership with the Florida
Aquarium, there are over 20 cownose rays
that fans can touch and feed throughout the
game. The 10,000-gallon tank is sponsored
by the Pinellas County Visitors Bureau and
FloridaBeaches.com and is one of the 10 largest in the United States.
ÊÊ Tropicana Field is the only major league
park to feature an artificial surface and
all-dirt base paths. Only four other artificial
turf ballparks have ever featured all-dirt
base paths: Houston’s Astrodome (1966-71);
San Francisco’s Candlestick Park in 1971;
Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium in the early
’70s; and, most recently, St. Louis’ Busch Sta
dium (1970-76).
ÊÊ The Rays were the first professional team to in-
stall the in-fill system turf in 2000 and in 2007
went with FieldTurf’s latest product featuring
a duo filament system. In 2011, AstroTurf introduced the latest in the turf market to the Trop
by installing the brand new Game Day Grass
3D-60 H specifically designed for baseball.
ÊÊ Tropicana Field features the world’s second-
largest cable-supported domed roof (Georgia
Dome is the largest). It’s made of six acres of
translucent, Teflon-coated fiberglass and it vir-

held there. These include hockey, basketball,
football, sprint car racing, gymnastics, soccer,
tennis, weightlifting, ping-pong, karate, motorcycle racing, equestrian events, track and
figure skating.
ÊÊ In addition to the 2008 World Series, the facili-
ty was also home to the 1999 NCAA Basketball
Final Four featuring Duke, Ohio State, Michigan
State and eventual-champion Connecticut. The
largest crowd to date — 47,150 — appeared at
the Aug 11, 1990, concert featuring New Kids
on the Block. It is currently home to college
football’s Beef O’ Brady Bowl and the Under
Armour All-American High School All-Star
Game and the East West Shrine Game.
ÊÊ Though originally built for baseball, there have
been 14 other sports and competitive events

tually supports itself with 180 miles of cables
connected by struts. Opposing forces of tension and compression keep the roof in an arc.
Tropicana Field’s roof is slanted at a 6.5degree angle, dropping from 225 feet above
second base to 85 feet at the center field wall.
The slanted roof reduced the overall construction costs and decreased the volume of air
under the dome by 16.8 million cubic feet.
Accordingly, that reduced the amount of air
that requires climate control treatment. It is
built to withstand winds of up to 115 miles per
hour.
