Hiya ,
My hubby really wants to see a base ball game in june when we are in Florida. The tampa bay devil rays are playing but i see it is around 100 miles to get there , as this is our first time in the US I would rather go by coach. Anyone possibly know of anyone who arranges this as a tour or if there are any coaches? or has anyone driven who can let me know how difficult/easy it is?
Many thanks

The drive is very, very easy. Essentially, it's a straight shot from WDW to the stadium in Tampa.

Not sure about buses. I know sometimes there will be charters to Major League games, but I don't follow the Rays to closely so I don't know if they have them from the Orlando area.

I'm sure there would be a bus from Orlando to Tampa, but by the time you did that, it would be much easier to rent a car (if only for a day) and make the drive. It's roughly an hour, hour and a half, depending on traffic.

You should have no problem getting tickets unless the Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees are in town. Then it becomes a little more difficult

You will have NO problem AT ALL getting tickets to see the Brewers. They're pretty bad actually.

Baseball games are always fun. Tropicana Field is an okay place to watch a game. i've seen some funny plays there with the catwalks and all. It is an indoor stadium so you don't have to be worried about being rained out.
