I agree that the Trop is a monstrosity. There has never been a pleasant domed stadium and to have one with a roof sloping down toward the outfield, a catwalk over the field, and is a featureless concrete box is even worse. The Rays are having a good season. To drive the stadium point home, fans have to get organized - refuse to go to a game until the Rays set firm plans to move to a proper stadium. It could even be couched in green language - air-conditioning and lights for every game? Not green! If memory serves, Dan included the hotel in his book, too.

All the more reason to build a new stadium! And the ancient Bellview Biltmore Hotel just around the corner actually has ghost tours 2 nights a week! ooooh.
