2. Tampa Bay Rays - Tropicana Field
For the past 30 years, the Tampa Bay Rays have been criticized for playing in one of the worst stadiums in baseball. To address this, they have come up with a solution to build Tropicana Field 2.0 just across the parking lot. While the outlook for Trop 2.0 remains bleak, we can still bemoan the tragedy that is their current stadium.
Like the Angels, Tampa Bay's stadium is famously concrete. A drab interior matches the sunburnt white exterior with no sightlines to the field. Curiously, the Rays decided to close off their centerfield viewing area for a more elegant dining experience enjoyed by tens of fans a night. Don't bother asking to check out the second level, either. They won't let you up there. And when your ground rules include parameters for the catwalks that hold up a bright white ceiling, you know you have some issues.
Nevertheless, every baseball fan needs to witness the majesty of the Trop, if only for the stumble to Ferg's afterward.
