Disney Field is part of the large Wide World of Sports theme area and it is a beautiful ballpark. The architecture is Spanish-style with towers and arches and terra-cotta tiled rooves. The striking yellow color also helps it to jump out of the surrounding landscape. It's a double-deck ballpark with all seating quite close to the field. The last seat of the upper deck has as nice a view as the first row of the lower.

There are two concourses, one at the top of the lower deck, under the overhang where one can wait on line for food and watch the game at the same time. A walk back through the tunnel brings you to the other, grander concourse with more concessions and noble arches and such. Unfortunately, the game I attended was the last of the season and everything was closed except for one food stand behind home plate, where the lines were horrendous.

The stadium adds were presented in an interesting way. Instead of draping them on the outfield fence, they were displayed as a series of rigid pennants on flagpoles high above the left field fence. It was quite original and good looking. It almost didn't seem like advertising.

Another unusual thing was the mascot, which was a bear. Strange for a team called the Rays. I can only assume it's the mascot from the old Orlando Cubs, but wearing a Rays uniform. 20 million for a ballpark and you can't buy a new mascot outfit? And what's with the "roof"? It's a series of attractive beams that extend out over the upper deck. It looks cool, but serves no function at all in the area of protecting fans from the elements.
