@ Pruitris Ani, A retractable roof stadium is the only answer. I live in south central Fl and the location of the Trop is awsome !! I have a much harder time getting to Ray Jay. Or CITS as its called on here. And BTW , has anybody noticed how empty that stadium is lately ?? Location has nothing to do with it , evidently..

Joe lives minutes from the Fruitdome and it is a pit beyond words.

Go see a game at PNC Park and try to tell Joe what a great place that tomb in St. Petersburg is. Yick!

Have to concur about the white elephant off of Central Avenue. Recently I went to a game at Minute Maid Park. It has the retractable roof and it was very nice. Houston has the same issues in terms of bugs/heat/rain in the summer and this appears to work very well.

Maybe they will use that type design and move the new stadium to a more suitable/accessible location

I used to watch minor league games at Al Lang. Outdoor baseball in Florida in July is horrible . Not just the heat, but the bugs are unbearable. Just my two cents .

That’s ironic, there won’t be any crowd at sunday’s game.

Joe,
You know the rule.
No mean nicknames of any kind!

Fruit dome…lol
Joe must have been feared in high school and college
for his nicknaming prowess.
