Rays Set to Unveil Plans for New Downtown St. Petersburg Stadium

The Tampa Bay Rays are expected to announce plans for a new domed ballpark in downtown St. Petersburg this week, with the proposed stadium set to be ready for the 2028 season. The team is reportedly planning to pay for "half or more" of the $1.2 billion cost, and the location in the Historic Gas Plant District suggests a shift in the perception of the Rays' attendance woes. This plan would keep the team in the area and dispel rumors of a permanent move or splitting time between Tampa Bay and Montreal.

"Rays Secure New Downtown St. Petersburg Stadium in Major Deal"

The Tampa Bay Rays are set to announce a deal for a new stadium in downtown St. Petersburg, near the current Tropicana Field site. The stadium, expected to open in 2028, will have a fixed dome roof, artificial turf field, and seat around 30,000. The estimated cost is over $1.2 billion, with contributions from the team, St. Petersburg, and Pinellas County. The agreement will provide a new home for the team after their 30-year lease at Tropicana Field ends in 2027 and is expected to increase revenues through higher attendance and sponsorship deals.
