Trop Still Going Topless

Well fans this past Saturday yours truly took a road trip south to Palmetto to take in an old site, my Gramp’s old place along with a VFW and American Legion Posts then I spotted the Trop on my way home.  You see fans by driving by the ballpark it reminded me of a few questions that maybe should be ask of the ball club, along with local, city and state officials about the Trop.  The first and biggest is why not have the Rays play their home games at the Tropicana Field while the roof is being replaced.  Hey, no batted ball hits the roof, there would be parking for the fans, and they could keep their seats, right?  The construction would not be taking place during the night games so there would be no travel to Tampa, right?  Of course, in Tampa the fans would be exposed to the elements along with no air conditioning and maybe a bit of harder seating for the fans.  Then of course there is the parking in Tampa but maybe just maybe more fans might want to see the Rays from the area east of Tampa.  Just a thought, eh?  Well in closing fans one might just want to give all this a second thought or two because I do have a few more like without a roof one might have to use a water vac now and then…

A PS to the above and that is what are or will be the FSL League scheduling problems for the Tampa Tarpons?  Then fans another question to ask is why not move to ESPN Sports World at Disney in Orlando where there is a good size stadium with a number of adjacent fields, again just a though eh?
