New Stadium Deal For Rays \'Less Certain\' Now 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Nov 19, 2024 1:17 pm

The Tampa Bay Rays move to a new ballpark might not be such a sure thing.

Last month, the Pinellas County Commission delayed the vote on a series of bonds that would help to finance the new stadium and its estimated $1.3 billion price tag.

Another delay would throw off the timeline on construction plans and likely raise costs on the entire project.

\"That action sent a clear message that we had lost the county as a partner,\" team owner Stuart Sternberg said about the delayed vote. \"The future of baseball in Tampa Bay became less certain after that vote.\"
