About Tropicana Field
Domed stadium in St. Petersburg, Florida, opened in 1990 as the Florida Suncoast Dome and home of the Tampa Bay Rays since 1998. It is the only active MLB stadium with a fixed, non-retractable roof, and its four suspended catwalks are in play under special ground rules.
Reopened for the Rays' 2026 home opener on April 6 after $55.7 million in repairs, including a $22.5 million roof, following Hurricane Milton damage in October 2024.

Is Yankees at Rays blacked out on MLB.TV?
MLB.TV is an out-of-market product: live out-of-market regular-season games are included, but games are blacked out in each club's home television territory, where they air on that club's in-market channel or stream instead. Nationally exclusive games (for example FOX Saturday games) are also blacked out on MLB.TV. Audio for all 30 clubs is blackout-free. As of 2026, ESPN sells and distributes MLB.TV, and it is also available through MLB's own platforms.
