Rays' Stadium Plans Stalled as 2028 Opening Uncertain
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Sports Illustrated
The Tampa Bay Rays' plans for a new stadium have been delayed beyond 2028 due to severe hurricane damage to Tropicana Field and political delays in financing. The team will temporarily play at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa starting in 2025. The Pinellas County Commission postponed finalizing bonds for the new $1.3 billion stadium until December, leaving the Rays' future stadium plans uncertain.
