Where is the best place to watch a Rays Game? As I was getting ready to sit down and watch the Rays on TV I figured since they were out of town I would find a place to watch the Rays game and enjoy some company and a little additional fan excitement by watching the Rays game at a local bar, sports establishment or eatery. If they were at home I would be in my season ticket seats at the TROP! But since they are not home lets find a place so I looked online and found nothing that said "THIS IS THE PLACE" so I decided to make my own list. I am from Tampa so it is probably "Tampa Centric" however if you leave comments to this post I will make sure to approve them for posting.
1. Fergs! (yes not Tampa But if your going to watch the game this is by far the best place to do it.)
2. Beef O'Bradys (Good because its local and pretty sports oriented. Their all over so find you one.)
3. Wing House (another local place and pretty good wings, And they are all over Florida)
4. Lee Roy Selmons (Another local place good food good prices and sports Oriented)
5. The Press Box (Dale Mabry, Never been here but they have Celebs and specials during games)
6. The Cop Shop (Oldsmar hangout that is pretty good, lots of tv's and drink specials)
7. Buffalo Wild Wings (Lots of TV's and WINGS)(They also turn the sound up for the Rays Games
8. The Long Bar (The owner Francis is a Rays Fan and he has Great Pizza, Good Wings and a Great Crowd, Good local hangout with a lot of TV's)
9. Varsity, Near Tarpon Lake on East lake Road, (there is a Varsity in Clearwater, Never been there)
10. Hattricks (Downtown Tampa, great sports oriented bar even better for Lightning games.)
After thoughts.
-- Any Applebees shows the game
-- City Fish (Oldsmar)
-- Rumbas (Oldsmar)
-- Bostons on Anderson Road
-- Most local bars will show it.
-- MacDintons Tampa Westchase area
-- Champps in the International Mall
-- Courtside in Oldsmar
-- Hooters (as you can tell I like wings)
So if your headed out and find a great place send a comment to here and I would love to have more choices....for now I'll just stick to what I know....GO RAYS!!!

Rays Fan Fest This weekend
here is one of the best survival guides I have found for heading to the TROP and getting into the baseball season early with RAYS FAN FEST.
http://www.tampabay.com/features/events/insider-tips-for-enjoying-rays-fan-fest/1215379
The only difference I think I see though is that THIS YEAR they are doing a "Autograph Line Ticket" this way the lines won't be as long and in order to get an "Autograph Line Ticket at Rays Fan Fest" you'll have to pony up $50. If your a Rays Season Ticket Holder your complimentary Wristbands to get in will come with discount coupons for 60% off the $50 so it will cost season ticket holders $20 to get a Autograph Line Ticket at Rays Fan Fest.
