Are people in Hillsborough County gephyrophobic?

In their defense, it’s depressing even to watch a game at the Trop on TV. Forget about commuting there.

I went to the Trop this summer. It’s 31/31 out of the MLB stadiums I’ve seen. You can drive in and park about 100 yards from the stadium for $20. That’s about the best thing I can say about it. It’s like a giant storage unit.

i dont even know what that means but I upvoted for using high vocabulary and spectacular vernacular and shite

The excuse they give for not going to St Pete to watch the Rays is that it’s “hard to get to” because they have to “cross a bridge” to get there

The drive could be through a corn field, it’s a massive pain in the arse to get over there during rush hour before games and there are very few stadiums so inconvenient to the people attending

It’s neither near the metro’s downtown/commercial center where people work (most stadiums) nor where the actual fans live (e.g., Truist). It’s in la la land

Your reward for making the journey is the worst stadium in major sports. An experience so depressing that asking “want to go watch a game?” to a serious baseball fan is usually met with “meh”

Rays fans have spent most of their 30 years explicitly conditioned to not want to go to games. Some of you wonder how attendance is so bad - the actual question you should be asking is what’s wrong with so many people to be going?

The new stadium is going to make an insane difference

Going to the Trop is like watching a game inside a garbage can with LED lights and a nose plug.
