Well, at least Tampa Bay's stadium doesn't have any wind current problems and I'm pretty sure the seats behind home plate are less expansive then a down payment on a new Mercedes. The turfed-catwalked-domed stadium apparently has been giving the Red Sox some problems as they dropped their second game in a row yesterday at the Trop.Going from grass to turf has to be tough and unnatural. I would have to imagine that with the stadium being so... different (read... craptastic)... from other ballparks, wouldn't the warehouse-ish Tropicana Field lend a certain aura of home field advantage?
Do the Tampa Bay Rays now have a better homefield advantage than the New York Yankees?
(and I'm not talking fans as I'm pretty sure more Red Sox fans show up to Rays games than actual Rays fans.)
Let's be honest here. The Yankees prices out the die-hards, the stadium is too quiet, and the ghosts of the place are gone. The Rays have the ghosts of Wade Boggs and Jose Conseco running around the Trop.
