i am not sure how much they are, i think around 17-35 dollars except when you have the yankees and the red sox play which are always sell-outs and the price moves up after that.

the rays are doing pretty good this year despite losing half their team last off-season and still are competing in the east.

but their remaining schedule is tough 37 percent of it is against the yankees and red sox.

st petersburg is a tough place to make it as a business owner. not many people buy anything.

people have strange mentallity. the only businesses that do well here are few restuarants with a decent reputation. that is it.

coupled that with insane prices for food and drink ($8 buds) you have recipe for disaster.

there is a talk of moving them to downtown tampa or getting team removed for good but they currently have a 25 year lease with the city of st petersburg.

will see how this turns out in the long run.
