Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 26, 2026 —
Ferg’s, a sports bar near Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, expanded its operations during the World Series as large crowds gathered to watch Tampa Bay Rays games.
The bar added capacity by bringing in extra bars and staff, along with more food and screens. Those additions helped accommodate the crowds and made Ferg’s a major gathering place for Rays fans during the series.
The available information does not specify how many additional bars or screens were added, how many staff members were brought in, or the amount of food provided. It also does not give attendance figures or the bar’s capacity before and after the expansion.
Ferg’s proximity to Tropicana Field placed it near the venue associated with the team. During the World Series, the bar’s expanded setup supported fans who gathered there to watch the games. The details provided describe the changes made to serve those crowds, but do not identify the dates of the expansion or how long the added resources remained in place.
No statement from the bar’s management or staff was provided, and no information was supplied about costs, business results, or the outcome of the Rays’ games. The account establishes that Ferg’s increased its capacity and resources during the World Series, but does not include figures that would quantify the scale of the changes or the size of the crowds.
