What game are you going to? It's usually a walk up crowd so ordering tickets in advance usually isn't a huge deal.
The one great thing about the Trop experience is the parking is superb. It's around the stadium which makes for optimal tailgating.
Sitting club level around the third base line was always my favorite. Either side isn't bad. Outfield bleachers are kind of meh, avoid upper deck above the infield at all costs. It's one mistake I will never make again.
Before or after the game, there is a great sports bar next door called Ferg's. A great place to watch the game when all the Red Sox fans bought up the tickets for a series as well.

It's a interesting experience to say the least. Check out the ray tank in the outfield as well, the kids love petting them.
Hope you have a enjoyable time, hope this helped.

I'll probably catch the Reds game... or possible the Cardinals, depending on how things work out.

I went to a rays game back in '07. I bought tickets at the window, sat in the out field. That place is a dump, JMO. Enjoy yourself my friend

Shouldn't have a problem for either game. Seeing Gomes strike out in a different uniform would be fun so i would probably lean towards the Reds game.

Maybe if you are lucky, you will get to see a live ball hit one of the catwalks on the roof.

Refresh now and see how that looks.

I just checked club level and if I'm reading it correctly pricing is around $120 a ticket. That sound about right?

Thanks Freak, and yeah that's about the going rate for club seating.

If you are in that area for a decent amount of time, check out a Clearwater Threshers minor league game. Believe it's always rated as one of the nicest minor league parks in the country. Can lay in the grass on a slanted hill behind the right field terrace or chill at the tikki bar behind the center field wall.

I dunno. HAS anyone ever been to a Rays game? Sure doesn't seem like it.

Wm is spot on. Great for tailgating. Stay away from outfield seating as well, imo, jmo, imho.

I went a few weeks back and had a good time with the boys. Parking is easy (and cheap in the right spots) and plentiful like WM said.

While I prefer my baseball outdoors, the air conditioning has it's advantages.

Let me know when you're down and let's grab a beer.
