The best thing about Tropicana Field is that it's inside and climate controlled. Outdoor baseball…read morewithout some kind of roof in central Florida would be rough. As far as the field it's strange to see the low hanging walkways and speakers. The viewpoint from the outfield seats was not bad. The food choices were Florida-centric and pretty good. Prices about what you would expect. Parking for $20 is not bad and wasn't that far away. The fans here are great. I'm not a Rays fan and they were all friendly. Just some good natured ribbing. Not something you get in the northeast. Overall a good place to spend an afternoon in Tampa-St Pete.

Totally worth it! I mean seriously it is free! Can't beat free fun! We did not have tickets. We…read morecame right before 7. They let us know to sit on the side while the 7pm people came. Once they did, she accumulated extra tickets for us to go in. Once inside the wait seemed forever. They would let a certain number of people in a group each time. We finally got in around 7:20pm! For sure jumping in is hard when you are bare footed. You can easily get stuck under. It's like drowning, but a bunch of balls instead of water! The most fun or most difficult is trying to get out! Phew! I felt so happy and free after playing around for a bit! What a great fun concept. Those were the days of Chuckie cheese ball pits! Here it is again!

What an awesome event! And it was completely free! Huge thanks to the Vinik Foundation for bringing…read morethis amazing experience to Tampa! I didn't expect to have so much fun in a ball pit... nor did I expect it to be so physically challenging! The first time I fell, I needed help to get back up, and just walking through the balls was hard! The *shore* with lounge chairs & umbrellas was a nice way to catch my breath. Due to my kids' work & college schedules, Sunday was really the best day for us to go together. I ordered our free tickets online several weeks before the multi-week event began, and 5pm 8/21 was the only slot still available for a group of 6... That's how popular this event was, sight unseen! Once I realized The Beach Tampa would be closing at 6pm on Sundays, I was concerned our time would be limited. However, worrying was not necessary. At the entrance outside, we queued up to enter precisely at our ticketed time. Then inside, we waited again as staff monitored the number of people inside the actual *beach* area for safety and enjoyment, allowing people to enter as others left. The line moved quickly at this point, but we still weren't able to go in until after 5:30. Luckily, staff had already announced to everyone that even the very last person to enter would get a minimum of 45 minutes to enjoy The Beach. I really hope The Beach returns to Tampa!

Another great experience! Hadn't been here for a Spring…read moreTraining Game in 4 years. Lots of parking in nearby businesses ( mostly auto repair and tire shops), in the nearby neighborhood, and some in their own lot ( not super big) Staff is consistently helpful and friendly ( Tony at the concession stand -got chicken tenders and fries in a souvenir helmet) was awesome, and the team store always seems to have great merch as well as some good stuff on clearance. Seats are comfy, the scoreboard shows the important info, and there's always great ball whether it's the Pirates or the Marauders.

Okay first thing I want to say about this stadium is make sure you bring a hat, a fan and drink…read morelots of water before you go to any game year. While the stadium is decent size. There is very limited covering for shade. I love that they have various types of concessions around the ballpark. And you can buy souvenirs for their home team. Right near the entrance/ exit. Stadium itself is in good shape. Entertainment during the changing of the innings for fun and engaging. I came here for one of the spring training games and definitely will be back. Parking is interesting as the stadium is in the middle of a neighborhood. So plan accordingly before you go. There is a mix of paid parking and street parking around the area but with the size of the stadium that parking can get filled rather quickly. Note e if you stand right outside of the stadium, there's a likelihood that you could catch a foul ball right on the street. I witnessed that firsthand as I was leaving the stadium and one of the vendors straight up caught a a fly ball coming over the stadium wall with his bare hands. It was quite a sight to see. I feel bad for any cars driving by during that time though.

We met team representatives at the DTSP First Friday and decided to check out the next competition. The entire evening was extremely entertaining! The roller derby women are fierce and passionate about their sport. We enjoyed complimentary wine and Jell-O shots and had delicious sliders from the Jimmy's Mealballs truck. At halftime, we enjoyed a Rocky Horror Picture Show presentation. This will become a routine activity for us!

Entertaing and fun. Wood bleachers are tough for sitting. Smoke from outside is unwelcome…read more Beer, wine, fast truck food available. Decent band, DJ and very good announcer. Great people watching. Fast and interesting banked roller derby matches. All good for a reasonably priced night out to catch something different

It's out first time here and didn't know what to expect. Thankfully, our experience went pretty smooth. Skip had to adjust the ball machine a few times. They had several bats and plenty of balls to get us started. My husband and I spent almost an hour there. We forgot to bring our batting gloves! Nevertheless, batting is super fun and kinda addictive, especially if you're connecting. This was a good work out. Would recommend this batting cage!

Really great, small venue for watching a local team…read more The Tampa Bay Suns play at Blake High School, but what they've done to make a public high school an appropriate place for a professional sports club is pretty fantastic. The stadium is across the river from Armature Works. As such, parking is at AW ($10 event day parking), and you take the Pirate Water Taxi for free to the stadium. The stadium has food trucks, including from Cru, Berns/Haven, and Coldstone. They have portable/trailer bathrooms, but they are real and clean. The stadium only has a 5000 person capacity, but that is part of the charm. It's so small that there really are no bad seats. It's fun seeing the players up so close! What a great first sports experience for my young daughter.
