Well..Ive never taken a cab from downtown Tampa to the Trop...but its 25 miles and then once you get across the bridge (depending on time of course) there may be serious stop and go traffic... so whatever that adds up to in cab fare...According to the fare estimator..its around $50 but add more for the wait times...

Re: Tampa Bay Rays ticket during Frozen Four

You don't A cab will be verry Expensive...There is no public transportation outside of St Pete to get to the trop (Reason #574 on why there is an attendance issue there). I really have no suggestions here other than make a friend with someone going to the game that has a car...then tell them to go early as parking will be a nightmare.. BTW The Yankees being the the home opener team is actually irrelevant the Rays always sell out the home opener including the past two years against the Orioles.. Saturday and Sunday is where it will be different.

what do you consider very expensive?

Since there will be three of us, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to rent a car for the day.

I'm still in a sling from rotator cuff surgery. No golf until mid-late May.

I did; my friend and I will be in 315. You should check out the discussion about travel in the general thread about Tampa, but it seems like the answer to your question is "you don't".

Re: Tampa Bay Rays ticket during Frozen Four

oh for pete's sake. I was thinking of staying south and going to see the Brewers in Atlanta after FF. Now I find out that's THEIR Opening Day.

Atlanta is not a very good baseball town. You could probably get tickets.

Re: Tampa Bay Rays ticket during Frozen Four

No info on Rays tickets yet.

Speaking of expensive tickets, a nonstop flight from Milwaukee to Tampa costs $700. $700?!?!?!?!!? Chicago is about half the price.

edit: oh for pete's sake. I was thinking of staying south and going to see the Brewers in Atlanta after FF. Now I find out that's THEIR Opening Day.

My flight was more expensive than I guessed, too; $370 from NY, and that's with an early-morning departure on Wednesday and a connection in Raleigh.
