Tropicana Field has a new distinction, and it’s not the kind the Rays were hoping for. A playcasino.com analysis of Google reviews ranked all thirty Major League ballparks, and the Trop finished thirtieth, averaging 4.46 stars from 13,772 reviews as of October 28. Miami’s loanDepot park finished just ahead at 4.47 stars, with the share of one-star reviews deciding the tie.
The low ratings had a clear theme. Of 34 recent one- and two-star comments, thirteen described the ballpark as old, dark, or run-down, and one reviewer said it falls short of the standards expected of Major League Baseball today. Still, the positives matter too: many reviewers praised the atmosphere, the game-day experience, and the food. And the ballpark that finished first? Fenway Park, at 4.78 stars, which opened in 1912 and proves that age alone doesn’t sink a stadium’s reputation.
The ranking adds another chapter to the long-running conversation about the Trop’s future, a story Suncoast residents know well. Whether you love the dome’s quirks or you’re ready for something new, the reviews show people have strong feelings either way. Where do you stand on Tropicana Field?
