Lower Level Infield seating at Tropicana Field includes sections 101-126. Odd number sections are on the third base side, while even sections are on the first base side. The Rays dugout is in front of even sections 112-118, while the visitor's dugout is in front of odd sections 111-117. Avoid Rows WW and XX on the Lower Level because of the obstructed view created by the 200 level overhang. While sections 101-106 will give you the best home plate view, most concessions and restrooms are on each baseline rather than behind home plate.

Hancock Bank Club seating at Tropicana field is located above lower level sections that share the same section number. These seats come with an all-inclusive buffet of ballpark food plus a rotation of featured entrees. Fans will also enjoy unlimited soda, beer and wine. These club seats also come with access to the club lounge with televisions, comfortable seating and dining areas. Given their location down a baseline (as opposed to behind home plate), fans looking for the best seats to watch a Rays game will find better seats elsewhere -- especially when you consider rows WW and XX are obstructed the 200 level. But for upscale amenities and comfort, these seats are among the best in the park.

The main attraction of seating down the line are the bullpens located on either side. The Rays bullpen can be found in front of sections 128 and 130, while the visiting team bullpen is on the opposite side of the field at 127 and 129. These sections are also great for getting a ball -- either a foul ball or one tossed up from the bullpen. Section 134 offers a batting cage, speed pitch and baseball carnival -- making it popular among families with kids. Sit in an odd section for the best view of the scoreboard and avoid rows WW and XX, which may be obstructed by the 200 level overhang.

The outfield at Tropicana Field is an inexpensive way to get close to the field. Though Tropicana Field is not a home run ballpark, the abundance of outfield seats means that fans are usually walking away with home runs rather than them falling in the bullpens. Sections 141-145 see a fair share of home run balls in the first ten rows, while Right Field home runs tend to land evenly among most rows in even sections 142-148. Keep in mind that the outfield scoreboard will not be viewable from even-numbered outfield sections.

The Press Level is another name for 200 level seating at Tropicana Field. These sections contain fewer than ten rows and are a great alternative to the last five rows of the 100 level. Sit in even numbered sections (3B side) for a better view of the scoreboard and to be closer to a greater number of concession and beer stands.

As you head down the line on the 200 (Press) Level at Tropicana Field, the concession stands thin out. There is only one concession stand down each line that serves the last four or five sections. Never-the-less, these intimate sections have less than ten rows and a good height for viewing baseball. Similar to lower level seating, sitting on the 3B side (odd numbers) will give you a better view of the outfield scoreboard.

The best upper level seats on the infield at the Trop are sections 300-304, which give you the best view of the entire field from behind home plate. These sections are also close to men's and women's restrooms and a host of concessions. Make sure to choose seats in the lowest possible row. The steepness of the upper deck, coupled with potential obstructions from the catwalk makes upper level seats in the higher rows buyer beware.

Upper Level seats at Tropicana Field do not go as far down the line as in many baseball stadiums, and the last two sections have a limited number of seats. Given this, the views from a majority of these sections is relatively good for upper level seating. However, as with infield seating in the upper deck, avoid higher numbered rows due to the obstructions from the catwalk and the steep stairs of the upper deck. If given the choice, choose an odd-numbered section on the third base side to get the best view of the scoreboard.

The Party Deck seats at the Trop are often among the least expensive seats in the stadium, given their location far from home plate and in an area few baseballs could even think about reaching. The seats are most often used for special events and promotions, given their exclusive nature (must have a ticket in this section to sit here). For casual fans, a spot in the Upper Deck for about the same price is a better option because of the closer views and more concessions and amenities.
