About the Project

Trop! In the Name of Love aims to preserve memories and experiences shared at Tropicana Field, the beloved first home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Stemming from a deep love for the team and ballpark, this project was created by a Rays fan who was born, raised, and still resides in New York City.
