Tampa Bay Rays Suites

Tropicana Field, 1 Tropicana Drive, St. Petersburg, FL

Tampa Bay has had a winning record in six consecutive seasons. That should continue in 2024. The Rays have a well-rounded lineup including infielders Yandy Diaz and Isaac Paredes, along with outfielders Randy Arozarena and Josh Lowe. Arozarena had a career-high 23 homers, 80 walks, and 95 runs last season. He’s also stolen 20+ bases in three straight campaigns. Tampa’s rotation is strong and centered around Zach Eflin. The right-hander led the league with 16 wins in 2023. He’s joined by Aaron Civale, Shane Baz, and newcomer Ryan Pepiot. The Rays should make the playoffs for the sixth straight season this year.

Tropicana Field has plenty of luxury seating options. The DEX Imaging Home Plate Club includes an all-inclusive buffet, in-seat waiting, other Club access, and a personal Rays Specialist. The Baldwin Group Club is another space, offering all-inclusive dining, dessert choices, and similar perks to DEX Imaging. Fieldside and Chalk Boxes are available too with elite amenities. And Tampa Bay also has plenty of suites. Outfield Suites are a great choice, providing parking passes, TVs, food and beverage options, and more. Others like the Executive Suites and Hooters Owls Den Suite have similar amenities. Suites range from 12-36 guests.

After finishing no better than fourth place in their first 10 years of existence, they have made the playoffs in eight of their next 15, including a franchise-record four in a row. They dropped from 100 wins in 2021 to 86 last year but still made the postseason. For a team that typically has high turnover, the Rays are running it back on offense with Wander Franco, Randy Arozarena, Brandon Lowe, and Yandy Diaz among those back. Tyler Glasnow, who pitched at the very end of last season after missing most of the 2022 campaign due to Tommy John surgery, is on track to pitch at the end of April after dealing with an oblique issue during spring training. Shane McClanahan, who started last year’s All-Star Game, will look to pickup the slack along with new acquisition Zach Eflin, who is from nearby Clearwater. The bullpen is also strong with Pete Fairbanks, Colin Poche, Ryan Thompson, and Jason Adam all figuring into the mix to get important outs for manager Kevin Cash.

The Rays have done a lot each offseason to dress up Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, and that includes its premium seating offerings. The DEX Imaging Home Plate Club gives you seats right behind home plate and comes with an all-inclusive buffet in the Rays Club. Luxury suites are located fairly close to the action at the top of the 100 level along the first- and third-base lines, and the Chalk Box is all-new for 2023. It features oversized, padded seats in the first few rows along the first-base line.

The Rays followed up a trip to the 2020 World Series with their first 100-win season last year, but a disappointing October followed in a Division Series loss to the rival Red Sox. Corey Kluber and Drew Rasmussen join the pitching staff anchored by Shane McClanahan, but the real star here is the offense and potential MVP candidate Wander Franco, who was locked up with a long-term deal by the club in the offseason. He joins solid hitters Brandon Lowe, Randy Arozarena, Yandy Diaz, and Mike Zunino in a strong lineup that is looking for its third-straight AL East title.

Ownership does a nice job adding more and more premium options at Tropicana Field every year. The Left Field Ledge, an area that included ledge tables, seated drink rails, and a full-service bar, and The Chalk Box—featuring comfy, oversized seats with armrests, cupholders, in-seat food and beverage service, and great views along the first-base line—are areas you likely haven’t seen before. The DEX Imaging Home Plate Club gives you seats right behind home plate and comes with an all-inclusive buffet in the Rays Club. Traditional suites run up and down the first- and third-base lines and come with all-inclusive catering, VIP parking passes, and private restrooms.
