Tropicana Field
Tropicana Field, nicknamed "The Trop", is a domed multi-purpose stadium in the southeastern United States, located in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is the home of the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball (MLB). The venue is the only nonretractable domed stadium in the MLB and is a notable local attraction in the Tampa Bay Area.
The stadium opened in 1990 as the Florida Suncoast Dome. The Tampa Bay Lightning moved to the facility in 1993 and renamed it the ThunderDome. The Lightning played there until moving to their new home in downtown Tampa in 1996. In October 1996, Tropicana Products, a fruit juice company then based in nearby Bradenton, signed a 30-year naming rights deal.
