Rays Baseball Serves A New Seating Section

Tampa is watching as Tropicana Field is on fire! The Rays Baseball serves a new seating section for fans to enjoy.  He's number 56 on your lineup card but number 1 in your hearts, especially if your in section 141!  Randy Arozarena has his own space for fans to celebrate the slugger.  Welcome to Randy Land.  Every Friday, you can commingle with other fans of our favorite left fielder, in his newly named, left field section.  Tickets are only $49 and each seat comes with a Randy Arozarena t-shirt, with 4 different designs rotated throughout the season.  There's also a great chance to kick it, when the defense takes the field, since the section is right behind the man.  When Randy hits a homerun, fans in the Randy Land section (141) score a free Bud or Bud Light, soda or water.

Randy Arozarena is a fiery ball of energy for our lineup, at bat or in the field.  Aside from his Cuban heritage, Randy defected to Mexico in 2020, where his toddler daughter resides.  He made the switch in honor of her, and his time playing ball there, as well.  In October of last year, Arozarena announced he would represent Mexico in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. The slugger lead the Mexico in most categories with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador calling Randy "a phenomenon" for his performance in the tourney.  Just over a week ago, at Tropicana Field, he was presented selection to the All-Classic Team, with a unanimous vote.

Back in the 80s, food and beverage options were pretty basic at baseball games. Hot dogs, popcorn, and Coca Cola are great and all, but the game experience has gotten so much better over the past decade or so with a focus on local vendors. The Tampa Bay Rays not only have some new food choices from local restaurants... but the selection of beer from the hot microbrew scene here in Florida is a home run. You can go with one of the big labels too like Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra. But if you like craft beers, check out the 2023 starting lineup.

Find them at TB Brews (144/146); Budweiser Porch (149/150); Cooperstown Cocktails (1B Food Hall); Coppertail Brewing (117 & 120); Fresh Vine Wine (3B Food Hall); Vinfielder Bar (208); Thirst & Second (207); Ybor Cantina (Rays Party Deck).

America's oldest brewery since 1829. Sure they got their start in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. But since their Tampa brewery opened in 1999, we've claimed them as our own.

From St. Pete, try this lemon-lime  and tangerine hop driven light pilsner.  Fermented at high temperatures, the Norwegian yeast produces oft honeyed and mango esters.

From Plant City, this one's described as a fluffy, light crisp wheat beer base with the aroma and flavors of mango.

Neighbors to the Trop in St. Pete, this one has aromas of orange and tangerine.  Definitely one for citrus lovers.

A blond, citrusy India Pale Ale from Tampa. Notes of orange peel, clementine, and light caramel.

OK this one's from Hawaii, but this golden ale has that beaches of Pinellas vibe to it.

A pale ale with grapefruit, mango, and orange aromas with a medium body and a dry finish.

First brewed in 2014, this one is their best seller. It also has a citrus kick with pine hops.

A clean and refreshing beer for the Florida life.  Crip malts with a slight hop aroma.

Another one from the Tampa brewery.  Made with Belgian Yeast, American West Coast Hops, this one is described as "blasphemy in a glass."
