For 5 select games this summer, Rays fans can get $10 tickets, $10 parking, some $5 menu items (hot dogs, popcorn and peanuts) and $5 drinks (bottled water, soda and 16 ounce Bud and Bud Light). These are the games that are a part of the deal:
Sunday, June 25 at 1:40pm vs. the Kansas City Royals
Wednesday, July 5 at 6:40pm vs. the Philadelphia Phillies
Thursday, July 20 at 6:40pm vs. the Baltimore Orioles
Tuesday, July 25 at 6:40pm vs. the Florida Marlins
Tuesday, August 22 at 6:40pm vs. the Colorado Rockies
Another perk. Some merchandise will be 25% off during these games at Tropicana Field. Visit mlb.com/rays/tickets/specials/summer-special to take advantage of the deals.
Some new offerings and returning favorites are on the menu from Tampa Bay area vendors who are setting up shop at Tampa Bay Rays games at Tropicana Field for the 2023 season. Here are some of the foods to try and where to find them at The Trop.
Little Greek
I'm a huge fan of Little Greek. I love their chicken souvlaki and they have really great fries too... I always substitute them for the rice. They'll have their Tampa Bay Signature Greek Salad in the third base food hall.
Omaha Steaks
Look for their burgers and brats throughout Tropicana Field this season.
Daddies Donuts
Another local vendor on this year's lineup. They'll serve freshly made donuts in Right Field Street, the Third Base Food Hall and the Rays club.
Beans & Barlour
Love creative milkshakes? Look for them in the Third Base Concourse or at the Budweiser Porch in Center Field.
Sip Shine
Try a Moonshine Slushie with moonshine whiskey and fresh fruit flavors. Find them at the Third Base Food Hall, the Rays Club and Ballpark & Rec.
MingsBings
Iron Chef Ming Tsai has a vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free handheld pocket. Find them at Grand Slam in Right Field, Beach Drive BBQ, and new this year in their Suite A-La-Carte Menu.
Pig + Potato
Head to the Center Field Porch to get their Footlong Tater Tot or a Pretzel Dog. Keep an eye out for their house-made mustard sauce. Only 98 pretzel dogs will be made for each game so if you want one, go in the first couple innings!
Beach Drive BBQ
A new one at the First Base Food Hall. Try their Loaded Pulled Pork Nachos, Brisket Banh Mi Sandwiches and Pulled Pork Sliders.
The Stinger Dog
This one's a throwback to honor the Rays 25th Anniversary season. This one was served up during the Devil Rays era. It's a Nathan's Hot Dog with chili and cheese sauce served at Whoa Doggy's locations.
