1. and put your little hand in mine

2. Let’s believe it when we see it.

3. F*** Tampa keep it in the superior city. They do say this every month though.

4. I really really wish they’d go to Tampa instead

5. 74 degrees Trop 4ever!

6. I will happily take it in either St. Pete or near downtown Tampa. In either case, though, I want the Rays to pay the bulk of the stadium construction costs and not have local governments cave to pressure.

7. At this point as long as they stay in the region i’ll be happy. Just get it done.

8. Just make it waterfront pls

9. There is so much data to support the claim that moving the team to Tampa will increase access to games for millions of people but sure yeah let’s keep them in St Pete surrounded by water. After a few years when the new stadium appeal wears off attendance will go back down because people don’t want to sit in 5 o clock traffic on the Howard Franklin.
