2026 Tampa Bay Rays Fan Fest<\/a> will be held from 1-5 p.m. Saturday. The large yard sale is set up outside of Gates 4 and 5 on 16th Street S.<\/p>\nThe Rays typically hold a community yard sale as part of Fan Fest, where the remainder of the previous year\u2019s promotional items and team gear are sold off to prepare for the new season.<\/p>\n
The team also held a pre-construction yard sale over the summer.<\/p>\n
The goal of that was to purge most of the goodies that had been piling up at Tropicana Field over the last two decades, but the team\u2019s Chief Business Officer Bill Walsh said they found more as construction continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cCandidly, we keep finding things,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cThis is kind of the last of it. This is the last round.”<\/p>\n
All yard sale items will be sold for $5. Authentic jerseys and mystery autograph balls will be sold for $30.<\/p>\n
Some of the items that hit the yard sale tables date as far back as 2008. They include promotional shirts, hats, jerseys, costumes, bobbleheads, tumblers, glasses, toys, signs, and items that were created for current and former players.<\/p>\n
The shirts given out in the 2024 season as part of “RandyLand” are for sale, as well as many items used in the Rays 20th anniversary season. The promotional baseballs from last year\u2019s 2025 Opening Day at Steinbrenner Field are also for sale, among many other unique items.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn many ways, what happened here at Tropicana Field was kind of the poster child for Hurricane Milton and even Hurricane Helene,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cSo, to be able to bounce back like this and have this comeback bring Major League Baseball back to The Trop, even if its only for a few years, is something we really really want to celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n
