Tampa Bay Rays Reveal Plans for $1.3 Billion Stadium
The new ballpark aims to revitalize St. Petersburg's Historic Gas Plant District with an intimate, fan-focused design.
- The proposed stadium will have 30,000 fixed seats, with 70% in the lower levels for closer fan engagement.
- Set to open in 2028, the stadium will feature a fixed roof and artificial turf, similar to Tropicana Field.
- The project includes residential, retail, and office spaces to create a year-round community hub.
- The Rays' current lease at Tropicana Field expires in 2027, prompting the new development.
- If approved, construction is expected to start in January 2025.
