Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Fla. will be getting a minor makeover before opening day, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin.
The Rays will reportedly be installing a new "LED illumination system" on their home stadium's roof, lighting the Tropicana Field roof blue throughout the 2019 system. The upgrade is a solution to a common problem at the Trop: players losing fly balls amid the white roof.
“I’m all for anything that would make that dirty white ball not blend into that dirty white roof as much,’’ Rays centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier told Topkin.
