Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida (August, 2009)

 
The Trop is real easy to get to right off of I-275 at the I-175 junction (which heads straight into downtown St. Petersburg).

We were heading in for a Saturday afternoon game so traffic wasn't bad.  The Texas Rangers were in town (and ended up winning the game 4-0).

It is an fairly ugly building on the west side when viewed going through that interchange.  Honestly it looks like a typical dome that was just thrown together to host a myriad of events and oh, by the way, we'll have our baseball team play here.  In fact the team indicates that 16 different types of sports or competitive events has been held there.
