May 13, 1998-- Kansas City Royals 4, Tampa Bay Devil Rays 0
The closer you get to Tropicana Field, the nicer it looked,
but getting closer was a nightmare.
If and when you found a lot that wasn't pre-paid,
you had quite a walk to the stadium.
It's amazing how much darker domes are inside.
With the modern retractable domes,
Tropicana Field looks like it's been around
as long as the Astrodome.
But it only opened in 1990.
The one thing I liked about Tropicana Field was the full dirt infield.
At least that made it look less like astroturf.
At the top of this shot is a catwalk, which is in play.
The Royals were robbed of a homerun when a ball hit it
and fell back down onto the field for a double.
Stadium Rating : C
2000 update : Tropicana Field changed the playing surface to the new Field Turf,
for a more natural look.
