 | | Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, closed its doors in October 1996 for a 17-month, $85 million facelift that transformed the facility from functional to intriguingly innovative, incorporating baseball traditions throughout the dining, shopping and entertainment complex while adding 319,000 square feet of space. |
 | | This bustling area, open year round, features the Cuesta-Rey Cigar Bar, baseball's first in-stadium cigar bar, as well as the Batter's Eye Restaurant, located, appropriately, in the "batter's eye" in center field. |
 | | It became the ThunderDome in 1993 with the arrival of the area's National Hockey League expansion franchise, the Tampa Bay Lightning. |
