It started with a crack of the bat—and ended in the sky. Tampa’s summer nights are about to get a whole lot brighter, and not just because of the scoreboard. This season, the Tampa Bay Rays aren’t just playing baseball; they’re painting the heavens. With their newest postgame sensation, “drone shows”, the team is launching fans into a new era of spectacle and nostalgia.
History in the Sky: Postgame Drone Shows Begin
You can feel the electricity in the air—something beyond the game. For the first time ever, after select matchups, more than 350 choreographed drones will ignite the darkness above Steinbrenner Field, crafting glowing mosaics of Rays’ history and Tampa Bay pride.
Brought to eerie, mesmerizing life by Grizzly Entertainment, these shows aren’t just afterthoughts. They’re the main event, too.
- June 17, after facing the Orioles, the sky itself becomes a time machine—retelling legendary Rays moments.
- September 19, postgame with the Red Sox, fans themselves are honored in a tribute to Tampa Bay’s heartbeat.
And here’s the kicker—your regular game ticket includes the drone show. No extra fee. Just magic.
Rays Summer 3-Pack: Baseball on Your Terms
For those who crave the crack of the bat but not the hit to the wallet, the Rays Summer 3-Pack is a home run. Choose any three games in June or July, get parking included, and pay only $99 total.
That’s right. Three tickets. Three games. Three escapes from the ordinary. Whether you’re there for the game or the drone-lit sky, it’s one of the most affordable adventures in Tampa sports this summer. 🔗 Buy Tickets
Kids Cheer Free: June 6–8
They grow up fast—but for one weekend, they get in free. During the Rays vs. Marlins series from June 6–8, parents can score up to two free kids tickets (ages 14 and under) with each adult ticket purchase.
It’s the kind of memory you make once—the sound of your child cheering with a ballpark hot dog in hand, eyes wide as drones dance in the night sky. And just like that, baseball becomes magic.
A Celebration of Heritage and Home
But it’s not just about baseball—it’s about belonging. This summer, the Rays are celebrating diversity and identity through a rich lineup of heritage nights, each one filled with culture, music, and themed giveaways:
- Dominican Heritage Night – June 4
- Cuban Heritage Night – June 6
- Irish Heritage Night – June 8
- Greek Heritage Night – June 16
- Mexican Heritage Night – June 18
- Italian Heritage Night – June 30
Each event is a tapestry of tradition and Tampa spirit, making the stadium not just a sports venue, but a gathering place for stories. 🔗 Full Schedule
