County Vote Tomorrow could END Rays Ballpark Project

The back-and-forth over whether to move forward with the deal for a new $1.3 billion Tampa Bay Rays stadium in St. Pete has Pinellas County commissioners pointing to a different stadium deal — the A’s in Las Vegas — for what they want to see from the Rays before making a crucial vote.

Ahead of their meeting Tuesday, when Pinellas County commissioners could vote on whether to issue more than $300 million in bonds to pay for their share of the stadium, the county is requesting “proof” the Rays have been meeting their deal obligations and are financially able to.

  1. I worked on infrastructure projects for both the Trop and Ybor City sites. The ballpark concept was basically the same in both. Makes sense because they didn't know which site would be approved. So, the ballpark doesn't need much tweaking. The "Stadium District" concepts would vary based upon the available land parcels and overall scope of the other uses – hotels, restaurants, offices, residences, etc.

  4. they will vote yes 100 percent. if they cancel the deal the rays get the 65 acres. if rays cancel the deal the county gets the land. another terrible deal by the county and city. they should have had the voters decide if they wanted to give corporate welfare to billionaires. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

  6. What do you think Pinellas County's VOTE will be?

  10. Personally I am of the opinion that the rays should leave Tampa have a fresh start the state of florida is not the best choice for a new stadium ( it has not been a good market for baseball mainly because of attendance ),even if the county approves in the future they would get a booom for a new stadium that would fade very fast as happened with their current stadium I personally would prefer a rebranding go to Oregon and become Portland Navigators and test a new market they could explode when a future expansion comes with its respective realignment geography.

  13. I think 90%+ of Rays fans would prefer the team move to Tampa

    but will settle for the team staying in St. Pete. better than the alternative of Orlando, Nashville, Charlotte, Montreal, Utah, Portland, etc.

  14. They will vote yes so they wont hand over the 70 acres in "prime". When this is all done, RY will be somewhere else and St Pete will get demoted to having a AA team.

  15. as a Phillies and MLB fan i just want the Teams to all get home where no problems are so MLB can finally expand the way MLB is going i say now not to 2040 or later

  16. The only people who want to keep the Rays in St Pete are the selfish fans in Pinellas. Everybody and their momma wants them in downtown Tampa near where the TECO streetcar is and Brightline is going to be

  18. SALUTE Look I am a Giants fan tho as I am reading the comments and I am noticing that it is CLEAR that Tampa Bay Rays fans are the smartest and most passionate of ALL the small market teams. Maybe even including Japan !!! And now thanks to y'all I am even considering getting MLB Extra Innings so I can be part of it !!!! #tampabaygiants

  21. Rays deserve to move. They don’t support their team. They are constantly in the bottom-3 of attendance and even during playoff games they average under 20k fans. That’s not worthy of having a pro sports team.

  22. Regardless of whether the Rays stay in St Pete or move to Tampa / elsewhere, I think the temporary home at Charles Schwab Field (24,000 capacity) in Omaha for a few years starting in 2026 on would be a good idea. If a fully-financed ballpark can be agreed upon in Tampa and construction starts, I don't think MLB fans in that city will care all that much re. the team playing in a distant city while the ballpark is being built. Omaha would be a great place to play spring-to-fall baseball re. weather. I think the Rays could share the facility with the AAA Storm Chasers (Rays on the road while Storm Chasers are at home). Rays would obviously pay rent plus some extra to the Chasers given they'll be inconveniencing the team (which is the AAA Affiliate of the Royals), but I think this would be the best idea out of a bunch of not-very-attractive options….

  26. Your facts are not right. The Ybor deal fell flat in 2018. Also, the Rays did make a definite commitment to St. Petersburg originally with the “Here To Stay” press conference last year, having worked for a year on the Gas Plant site and affirmative votes by both the City and County to support the project. If this falls apart, it’s all on the narrow tunnel vision of Pinellas County.

  27. Thanks for the video update Brodie, I look forward to hearing about the outcome tomorrow! And did you hear that St. Petersburg is starting to allocate money to start the fixing process of the Tropicana roof?? I honestly hope they fix the Trop roof so the Rays can move back there and have a home again; Since they have no home right now. They can't play in a minor league park outside for many years in that weather! Maybe they can then use the Trop as an interim stadium from 2026-2029 or even until 2030, until they get their new one built! That's my thought anyway… Have a good night! 😉

  28. The Hillsborough deal fell through when the Rays proposed the 2nd most expensive baseball stadium at the time. There was little appetite to publicly fund it.
