It's no secret that Rays fans don't exactly pack Tropicana Field during the regular season, but they have put together some raucous crowds during the postseason. When the World Series came to St. Petersburg for the first time in 18 years, though, it was Brewers fans who jumped at the opportunity.
The Milwaukee faithful shocked the baseball world with a total takeover of "The Trop" in Games 3 and 4 of the World Series, making it sound more like a Brewers home game as the franchise looked to close out its first championship.
Here's a look at how Brewers fans erased home-field advantage for the Rays.

Brewers fans take over Tropicana Field
This angle of Brewers fans erupting after a Game 3 hit by Christian Yelich certainly doesn't give the impression Rays fans were the majority at Tropicana Field:

The Brewers played like a comfortable team in Game 3, winning 10-1, and they're hoping to leave Tampa Bay as World Series champions this week.
