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. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

I bought tickets at the window, sat in the out field. That place is a dump, JMO. Enjoy yourself my friend Posted via VolNation Mobile |

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

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

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. |
