Having lived in Tampa for 15 years the problem with attendance at Rays games is the location of the stadium. It is almost impossible for people from Tampa to get to a 7 PM start time. The place is in St. Pete in a location that involves much traffic and congestion. Going home is just as bad, if you live in suburbs of Tampa it's easily over an hour to get home. If you do decide to go it's great inside tho. Another great place to watch a game is in Seattle. Buy the $7.00 tickets, then move right down after the first inning, they still let you do that there. Every time we've gone there we ended up sitting right behind the Red Sox(visitor's) bench.
