Attendees can also utilize the Baseball Shuttle, which will be operational for each regular home game of the season. The shuttle service will start 2 hours before the game on Opening Day and continue until 1 hour after the game ends.

Moreover, fans are encouraged to explore alternative transportation methods such as Veo E-Scooter Share and Lime bikes, providing fun and eco-friendly ways to navigate downtown St. Pete. Veo E-Scooter Share options are available for rent at designated corrals, while Lime bikes can be rented through the Lime app.

To add to the excitement of the event, special edition SunRunner cowbells will be distributed to the first 500 guests at the Opening Day. Attendees can also find more information on shuttle schedules, stops, and routes on the respective service websites.

In conclusion, the guide aims to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for fans attending the Tampa Bay Rays Opening Weekend, emphasizing the importance of planning ahead and exploring various transportation options available.
