Tampa Bay Rays Opening Day Tickets

The Tampa Bay Rays will take on the Toronto Blue Jays this March 28th, 2024, to kick off the 2024 MLB Season. Come visit Tropicana Field at 4:00 PM to take part in the Rays’ bid to once again reach the vaunted October playoff series. This season marks the Tampa franchise’s 26th year as an MLB Franchise. It is also the beginning of the end of their tenure in Tropicana Field, as the team announced their plans to revitalize the Stadium District late last year. The Rays also announced back in April $10 tickets will be available in parts of the stadium during every game. Tickets are available at the Raysbaseball.com 

Five Straight Post Season Appearances

Playing in the most historic and difficult division in Major League Baseball since their first game in 1998, Tampa Bay surely was treated to a trial by fire. Every year the Rays schedule is full of the MLB "old gaurd" teams of the New York Yankees, and Boston Redsox coupled with the emerging Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays, however, appear to be better for it. Since their 10th anniversary season in 2008, the Rays have reached the Post-season 8 times, then even the World Series in two of those. This year, they are ready again with a few familiar faces such as Outfielder Randy Arozerena, and First Baseman Yandi Diaz, as well as newer exciting members like Amed Rosario and Jose Caballero.
