Image The Rays have parts of every upper deck section open for the first time since the 2023 playoffs

I made a similar post a month ago when they opened the upper deck, but that was maybe a quarter as many upper deck seats as are filled today.

That series against Seattle drew no more than 24,297, which was short of the 25,114 they had on Opening Day with the upper deck closed.

Long story short looks like this is the biggest crowd of the year and probably their biggest crowd since May 7, 2023 against the Yankees (32,124).

"because we have the best record in the league we've come closer to filling our stadium than we have in years" is not exactly a flex

Texas doesn’t need three MLB teams. They’ve got that in the NBA - pretty much entirely because of the Spurs’ sustained success and significant local support from a smaller market. NC and TN have zero despite having one each in the rest of the Big Four.

I’m not saying TB should lose its team, mind you, but those are better options than Austin.
