Seating Guide
Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, FL
Data updated: 2025 MLB Season
Cheapest Section
$10+
Sections
5
Capacity
25,000
Tropicana Field seats about 25,000, the smallest capacity in MLB, creating an intimate atmosphere. The dome's design means there are no weather concerns and no sun exposure, but the industrial ceiling, catwalks, and artificial lighting give it a less aesthetically pleasing feel than open-air parks. The lower bowl offers good proximity to the field, and the Rays Tank (live rays) behind center field is a unique feature. Upper level seats are far from the field but still offer clear sightlines.
