St Petersburg’s favorite selfie at the Dalí Museum
ONE OF St Petersburg’s greatest tural landmarks, the design of the Dalí Museum is just as important
cul-as what’s contained inside Here, a simple, rectangular structure with 18-inch thick hurricane-proof walls bursts forth from the “enigma,” a geodesic glass bubble made of 1,062 triangular pieces of glass Inside, the helical staircase conjures the artist’s obsession with spirals, and the DNA molecule; it leads to the mind-bending exhibits The avante garden is a must for selfies

FIELDS
OF DREAMS
When it comes to pro sports, the
Tampa Bay area covers all the bases
Here’s when and where to root on the
home team this season.
BY SCOTT ROUCH
where now
Cy Young Award-winner Blake Snell in action
Trang 15Sports afi cionados in the Tampa Bay area will have
plenty to choose from this spring One of the main
attractions, of course, is baseball, with spring training
running to the last week in March Options range from the
New York Yankees, who call Tampa’s George M
Stein-brenner Field home, to the Philadelphia Phillies in
Clearwa-ter (19 miles west) at Spectrum Field and the Toronto Blue
Jays in Dunedin (another six miles to the coast) at Dunedin
Stadium
The hometown Tampa Bay Rays return from Port
Charlotte, which has been their spring training home for
more than 10 years They begin the 2019 campaign with a
four-game set (March 28-31) against the Houston Astros
Giveaways during the fi rst series include a schedule magnet,
a Blake Snell bobblehead and a Kevin Kiermaier replica
jersey (14 and under)
It doesn’t take long for the Rays to test their mettle
against A.L East foes with the Baltimore Orioles (who also
train in sunny Florida, to the south in Sarasota) in town April
19-21, followed by a three-game battle (April 22-24) against
the reigning World Series champion Boston Red Sox The
Yankees come for three days, May 10-12 Tropical shirts are
for all fans (while supplies last) May 11 while kids 14 and
un-der get snapback hats May 12 Facing more stiff competition
in the early going, the World Series runners-up Los Angeles
Dodgers make the trip east May 21-22 Looking for
some-thing to do for July Fourth? The Rays square off against the
Yankees (July 4-7), fi nishing a 10-game homestand, which
starts June 28 against the Texas Rangers
Tropicana Field will buzz with excitement as the Rays,
who fi nished with a 90-72 record a year ago, return key
members of the squad including 2018 Cy Young
Award-winner Snell (21-5; 1.89 ERA; 221 strikeouts) Other players to
watch include second baseman Joey Wendle who batted
.300 with 146 hits and outfi elder Tommy Pham, who came
to the Rays in a deal July 31, batting 343 in 39 games, fi
nish-ing the season with 21 home runs
When visiting Tropicana Field, don’t forget to interact
with the Rays’ aquatic namesake in the Rays Touch
Experi-ence, where you can interact with majestic cownose and
southern stingrays in a 35-foot, 10,000-gallon tank located
in Center Field at Gate 1 The tank is the fi rst of its kind in
a pro sports venue and can accommodate 45 people at a
time Arrive early, as the experience closes two hours after
the fi rst pitch Or, see the tank as part of the Tropicana Field
tour (10:30 am and 1 pm on select days) that also gives you
access to the dugout, press box and more
Tropicana Field will buzz with excitement after
a 90-win season and the return of Cy Young Award-winner Blake Snell.

WHERE NOW Tampa Bay
As they did in 2018 when they had the Eastern
Con-ference’s best regular-season record, the Tampa Bay
Lightning are once again scorching the ice at Amalie
Arena Russian-born Nikita Kucherov leads the team
in assists and total points with Steven Stamkos and
Brayden Point neck-and-neck in the team goal-scoring
race
On pace to finish with the best record in the National
Hockey League heading into April’s playoffs, the
Lightning have some interesting matchups in March,
including two key games against last year’s Stanley Cup
champion Washington Capitals (March 16, March 30)
To make that trip to the game that much more special,
arrange for a Fan Shout scoreboard message Messages
appear on the Amalie Arena Lightning Vision
Score-board during the second intermission
For early arrivers to the game, The Lightning Girls
are at the main entrance greeting fans and taking
pictures with them
It’s the right time of the year for soccer fans, too,
as the Tampa Bay Rowdies’ season gets underway The Division II United Soccer League’s Championship League runs from March through October; the Rowdies begin their 2019 campaign at Memphis March 9 before returning to Al Lang Stadium in St Petersburg to play host to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds March 16
Amalie Arena will also play host to the best that women’s college basketball has to offer Tampa will
be a hotbed of hoops hysteria April 5-7 with the 2019 NCAA Division I Women’s Final Four There will be free events during the weekend including Tourney Town presented by Capital One, at the Tampa Bay Con-vention Center A slew of events include autograph signings, special appearances, basketball contests and much more
The football season ended just a few months back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Not to fear, the existing gulf until the start of summer workouts will be bridged
by the NFL Draft The Bucs have the No 5 overall pick
