An icon of the downtown area, the Pier offers many entertainment and dining choices as well as stunning waterfront views. Whether you take a boat or Segway tour of the waterfront, dine on the top deck of the five-story inverted pyramid or simply enjoy a sunset, visiting the Pier is a memorable experience.
St. Petersburg has a long and colorful Major League history. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays play in St. Petersburg's Tropicana Field. Interestingly, they are the first team to host spring training in its home city since 1919. Spring training takes place at Al Lang Field at Progress Energy Park in downtown.
A new sport has come to the area. In an area long known for its boat races, the February, 2003 inaugural running of the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg had everyone on the edge of their seat. The now annual roaring Indy-style auto racing event features a 1.78-mile circuit along the waterfront with spectacular views of Tampa Bay.
Truly, one could say that St. Petersburg has come a long way baby.
