According to USA Today, Tropicana Field, where the Tampa Bay Rays play, has been rated as the second-worst baseball stadium in Major League Baseball. USA Today conducted a survey with eight baseball reporters and editors who ranked all 30 stadiums, and then combined the scores to determine the final rankings.
USA Today commented, “The two most crucial points about The Trop are: the team has tried to make this sterile environment more welcoming, and there may be a solid plan in place to replace it.” The only stadium ranked lower than Tropicana Field was the Oakland Athletics’ Oakland Coliseum. PNC Park in Pittsburgh was rated as the best ballpark in MLB according to the survey.
