Inside the Park:
There are plenty of fun activities to do before the game in Right Field Street and Left Field Street. In Left Field Street, there’s baseball trivia challenge, batting cages, and a custom jersey shop, among other interactive games. Right Field Street has a carnival and other activities for kids, like a video batting cage and a speed pitch machine. There’s also an aquarium with 30 cownose rays behind the right center field wall. Center Field Street has The Batter’s Eye Restaurant overlooking the field as well as Ted Williams Museum and Hitters Hall of Fame. Next to the Batter’s Eye is another unique experience at Tropicana Field – Cuesta Rey Bar, which in the upper level in centerfield is the only cigar bar in the major leagues.
One of our favorite spots is the Captain Morgan Deck, also in center field. It’s one of the group party areas that you need to reserve (along with Corona Beach Bar and Checkers Bullpen Café.) Look into these ahead of time if you have a large group. A party deck on a Friday night will have a live DJ and will be pretty cheap.
Food and Drink:
As for concessions, there’s lots to try inside like the Cuban sandwich, found at all Grand Slam Grills, Diamond Classic, East/West Deli, and the Center Street Brew House - a restaurant on the Main Concourse. The Brewhouse is a great place to meet up pre-game for a reasonably-priced sit down meal or some drinks, as they have a vast menu including appetizers, great burgers (including a veggie burger) and specialty drinks named after players.
A great addition to the park is Everglades BBQ Company at 2 locations - serving up a pretty tasty Pulled Smoked Pork Sandwich and Corn on the Cob. The restaurant in Center Field Street sits where the old Batter's Eye Restaurant once stood and offers a pretty cool view of the field. If you don't have time for a sit-down meal, there's a take out concessions stand at Section 142. Wings Around the World is a new addition and offers boneless wings with a variety of different sauces.
On the healthier side, Garden Burgers are available at Power Alley in the 3rd Base Food Court, and there's a Gluten-Free stand in Center Field Street.
There are plenty of premium beers at Tropicana Field and they’re generally only a buck more than a Bud. Look for some small Blue Moon or Sam Adams kiosks.
On the Main Concourse (Right Field Side) you'll find The Brass Tap serving up Frozen and Mixed Drinks including the Rays Signature Drink, in addition to beers like Kona Longboard and Widmer. If you're on the Upper Deck, check out Ybor Cantina where you can get a variety of frozen and mixed drinks and beers like Dos Equis, Modela Especial, and Heineken.
