Tropicana Field of dreams

At Wrigley Field, when the home team wins, they fly a great big "W" flag. At Tropicana Field, when the Tampa Rays win, they light up the dome orange. Get it!?! Orange, like a Tropicana orange!!!

And this is where the differences begin (and don't end for quite some time).

Tropicana Field will never have a place on the old "ballparks you gotta see before you die" list. Unless, you just have to satisfy your passions for baseball and cownose devil rays at the same time. That said, it's not an awful place to watch the actual game. Once you're inside the seating bowl, it's loud and raucous and the product is obviously pretty good.

It's just that everywhere else in the stadium feels like a bad Disney ride.
