Rays Secure Future with New $1.3 Billion Stadium in St. Petersburg

Pinellas County and St. Petersburg approve funding, marking a pivotal moment for the team and community.

The Rays' new stadium will be built on the current Tropicana Field site, with completion aimed for 2028.
The project includes significant redevelopment of the Historic Gas Plant District, featuring retail, office, and entertainment spaces.
Funding is split between the city, county, and the Rays, with the team covering any cost overruns.
Officials highlight the project's potential to boost local economy and community cohesion.
The new stadium ensures the Rays will remain in the Tampa Bay region for at least 30 more years.
