These seats are a great option for fans who want to sit close to the action without paying top-tier Home Plate Club prices.  Home Plate Box Location & Details  Home Plate Box seating is located on the Lower Level in the front of sections 101-110, spanning from behind home plate toward both dugouts.  Sections 101-108: Rows L-N, positioned behind the Home Plate Club seats    Sections 109-110: Rows G-J, located closer to the dugouts    Seats in sections 101-108 sit about 10 rows off the field due to the Home Plate Club sections in front. Meanwhile, sections 109 and 110 are positioned at field level, making them some of the closest seats near the field and dugouts.  All seats feature padded stadium-style seating, offering a noticeable upgrade in comfort compared to standard lower-level seating.  Views from Home Plate Box Seats  Views from Home Plate Box seats are strong across all sections, with differences based on proximity.  Sections 101-108 provide a centered, slightly elevated perspective behind home plate, making it easy to follow pitches and overall gameplay. Sections 109-110 offer a more immersive, field-level experience near the dugouts, bringing fans closer to players and in-game activity.  These seats strike a balance between close proximity and strong viewing angles, especially for fans who want both comfort and a great perspective of the game.  Home Plate Box Amenities  Home Plate Box tickets include a premium gameday experience with added food and beverage perks.  Complimentary food, beer, wine, and soft drinks    In-seat food and beverage delivery    Ability to purchase spirits    Padded seating for added comfort    Close proximity to the field and dugouts    Home Plate Club vs. Home Plate Box Seats  While both seating options are located near home plate at Tropicana Field, there are a few key differences in experience and access.  Home Plate Club seats are located directly behind home plate at field level and include access to a private club lounge with additional food, drink, and indoor seating areas. These are among the most exclusive seats for a Rays game and offer a more upscale, all-inclusive environment.  Home Plate Box seats are positioned just behind the Home Plate Club or closer to the dugouts and do not include access to a separate club space. However, they still provide a premium experience with padded seating and in-seat service with complimentary food and drinks.  For Rays games, the decision often comes down to club access vs. value — Home Plate Club offers a more exclusive, lounge-driven experience, while Home Plate Box seats deliver strong amenities and proximity at a slightly lower price point. 

- Located on the 100 level at Tropicana field and in the corners between the endzones and sidelines, the lower level corner sections offer a unique corner viewing angle for the lowest seating tier. Even numbered sections from 132-140 are closest to the right field corner, where some views many be difficult due to the right field foul pole. Sections 101-108 are located behind home plate with a clearer view, but sit slightly further from the field. These seats are at the lowest tier of regular seating at Tropicana Field (excluding the Party Deck), making row selection a key aspect in deciding where to buy football tickets for a bowl game at Tropicana Field. Single lettered rows are located in front with an impressive proximity to the field, but due to the lower line of sight, the viewing experience will not be as agreeable as the higher double lettered rows. 

- Lower Level Infield seating at Tropicana Field includes sections 101-126. Odd number sections are on the third base side, while even sections are on the first base side. The Rays dugout is in front of even sections 112-118, while the visitor's dugout is in front of odd sections 111-117. Avoid Rows WW and XX on the Lower Level because of the obstructed view created by the 200 level overhang. While sections 101-106 will give you the best home plate view, most concessions and restrooms are on each baseline rather than behind home plate.
