Report: Rays complete deal for St. Pete stadium

The Rays are expected to announce the completion of a deal for a new stadium in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Tuesday, according to a report by the Tampa Bay Times.

The new stadium will be part of a massive redevelopment of St. Petersburg's 86-acre Gas Plant District -- a project that also includes affordable housing, office space and retail in what was once a thriving Black neighborhood.

That's a really odd quote. I don't see any chance housing around the stadium remains "affordable".

Yeah, the housing around Truist Park is among the most expensive in the state

But the area around Turner Field was a ghetto shithole, it was and still is cheap

- Billion Dollar Ballpark
- Brand new Retail and Office Space
- Affordable Housing

One of these things is not like the other...

 

[fordman84]

At least they sized it right at 30k. Not much more than that needed for 150'ish of the games played there each season.

Except people in Tampa are going to be pissed. They don't want the hour to hour and half drive across the bridge to go to the games. A stadium in north tampa would have gotten attendance through the roof.
