Draft Room Season Ticket Club

The team also announced the creation of an exclusive club for season ticket holders: The Draft Room Season Ticket Club, an exclusive area for full season ticket holders that will blend hospitality and comfort with advertised "behind the scenes access to Rays staff, players, and coaches."

The project is a collaborative effort between PRA and Carlson Studio Architecture (CSA), PRA's strategic alliance in Sarasota, FL. The PRA/CSA team's design standards incorporate sustainable design criteria, such as
energy and water conservation, healthy indoor air quality and materials that are more natural, recycled or otherwise eco-friendly.

This renovated space will have new access from the main seating bowl behind home plate, and will feature pre-game entertainment and programming as well as a season ticket service center.

The Draft Room will feature enhanced concessions offerings, local craft beers(!) and themed items based on visiting teams.
