PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- The Rays will host an open house at the new Charlotte Sports Park on Monday at 10 a.m. ET.

Admission and parking are free to all fans; parking in the main lot will be available beginning at 9:30 a.m.

During the open house, fans will have an opportunity to tour the renovated ballpark, watch the Rays work out on the stadium field and view a special batting practice session.

Concession stands and the baseball boardwalk will be open for the first time, and the club will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new team store located on the ballpark's main concourse behind home plate. The 2,800-square-foot team store will feature a full line of Rays and Charlotte Stone Crabs merchandise. On game days, the store will open 1 1/2 hours before game time and remain open until one hour after the game. On non-game days, the store will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Rays mascot, Raymond, and the Rays Street Team will also be on hand with giveaway items and prizes. In addition, select Tampa Bay players will conduct an autograph session following the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
