Which MLB team plays at Tropicana Field?

The MLB team that plays at Tropicana Field is the Tampa Bay Rays. The domed stadium in St. Petersburg, Florida, has been the Rays’ home since the franchise began play in 1998.

Tropicana Field opened in 1990 as the Florida Suncoast Dome and was later renamed after Tropicana Products. It became an MLB venue when the expansion Tampa Bay Devil Rays debuted there. The team shortened its name to the Tampa Bay Rays before the 2008 season, but remained based in St. Petersburg.

The stadium is notable for its fixed fiberglass fabric roof, which protects games from Florida’s heat, rain, and tropical storms. Its unusual design also includes the “Rays Touch Tank,” a popular attraction featuring live rays near the center-field concourse.

A common mix-up is confusing the Rays with the Miami Marlins, Florida’s other MLB club. Miami plays at loanDepot park, while Tropicana Field belongs to Tampa Bay. The Rays have also used the nickname “Trop” for their longtime home.
