World Series watch party planned for St. Pete Pier
(FOX 13 News)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The World Series may be taking place in Texas, but Tampa Bay Rays fans can get a waterfront seat to watch Game One tomorrow. The new St. Pete Pier is hosting a watch party just blocks from Tropicana Field.
The Rays-Dodgers game will be projected on a giant screen at the pier, with fans divided into 400 socially-distant ‘pods’ of no more than six people each.
Organizers say each pod will consist of 8-foot-by-8-foot wheelchair-accessible squares.
Fans can bring their own seats but cannot bring outside alcoholic beverages.
Gates open at 6 p.m. and pods are available on a first-come, first-seat basis. First pitch is scheduled for 8:09 p.m.
Parking will be available at some Pier lots and also at the Sundial Parking garage.
